Abstract

Departing from the opening phrase of Spuren, ‘werden wir erst’, the present article sets out to show both the critical and utopian meaning of these words. In his criticism to subjectivity, in the last period of the rise of National Socialism, Ernst Bloch distinguishes an element which he takes as a constitutive part of subjectivity: the notion of Rausch (ecstasy). The objective of this paper is to identify the different senses of the notion of Rausch following Bloch’s analyses.
