1 1. Advene (advenir) and advent (avènement) are special terms in the author’s philosophical lexicon, and tie in with his notions of the divide (écart) and, especially, of ex-istence, wherein a subject that is truly alive abides outside of the world, while remaining within it. This is the whole point of the book. An advent here is an occurrence that comes from outside of the world.

3 3. A reference to Henri Bergson’s “supplément d’âme” (literally supplement of soul) – “We must add that the body, now larger, calls for a bigger soul, and that mechanism should mean mysticism”: Henri Bergson, Two Sources of Morality and Religion, trans. R. Ashley Audra and Cloudesley Brereton, London: Macmillan and Co., 1935, p. 310.

4 4. Ludwig Feuerbach, The Essence of Christianity, trans. Marian Evans, London: John Chapman, 1854.

5 5. “Then Jesus said unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.”

6 6. Standard French and English translations differ in their choice of synonym. The French word essence figures in, for example, Ludwig Feuerbach, Essence du christianisme, trans. Joseph Roy, Paris: A. Lacroix, Verboechoven & Cie., 1864; the English word nature in Ludwig Feuerbach, The Essence of Christianity, trans. Marian Evans, New York: Calvin Blanchard, 1855.
