The art of transposing truths is one of the most essential and the least known. What makes it most difficult is that, in order to practice it, one has to have placed oneself at the center of a truth and possessed it in all its nakedness, behind the particular form in which it happens to have found expression. Furthermore, transposition is a criterion of truth. A truth which cannot be transposed isn't a truth; in the same way that what doesn't change in appearance according to the point of view isn't a real object, but a deceptive representation of such.
