Summary/Abstract: Daniel Lemeni puts forward the idea that Cioran experienced a major failure in his search for the absolute, thus developing an "unachieved misticism". THe present essay is the result of a series of reflections and interrogations concerning the issue of divinity in Cioran's works. The author uses the support of acknowledged specialists such as F. Savater, Gabriel Liiceanu or Andrei Pleşu in order to provide the deep structure of a thrilling and profound piece of reading.
