This philosophical reflection, dated July 1964, examines the concept of detachment from a given situation as an act of stepping into the realm of the non-given. The author posits that this openness is not an inherent part of the situation, nor an empty void beyond its borders, but rather a transfiguration and reconfiguration of the situation itself. The situation is naturally closed; hence, the free space beyond it is a neoplasm or a newly forged path that does not exist until the act of detachment occurs. This movement is not arbitrary but follows a specific form or narrow path governed by newly invented rules and structures. These structures act as norms necessary to sustain openness and prevent the situation from closing again. The text highlights that detachment requires active participation and the maintenance of certain methodological rigors. Furthermore, the author suggests that multiple paths of detachment are often possible, noting that the first discovered or invented route is rarely the most effective, thereby emphasizing the creative nature of transcending given realities.
