Que veut dire, finalement, « épochè hyperbolique » ?

The so called “hyperbolic épochè” by Richir has currently been understood from its consequences alone (“suspension of the symbolic institution”, “return to the realm of the pre-objective”, “suspension of intentionality itself”). We thus miss the very specificity of its operations. Among these, the hypothesis of a Genius Malignus should be grasped as a counter-apperception which leads to a suspension of the phenomenologizing ego itself, therefore spread away from the living present and from its identity with the transcendental ego and the pre-being of the transcendental in general. Only such a counter-performativity allows the phenomenalization of a wider spectrum of phenomena that can only be analyzed by means of an architectonical reduction.
