The first consists in continuing to believe by inventing a “certainty prosthesis,” an attitude that constitutes, within the interpersonal and the social area, the source of the state of the various aspects of alienation. Being able to subvert the doubt as a unique truth requires reversing the above option. It is the infertile position of the nihilism of despair, similar to the one that is often present during the adolescence period. If a perverse touch is added, one may be confronted with a cynical posture. Thanks to it, one is likely to enjoy, not only the certainty that no certainty exists, but the awareness of the omnipotence experienced in destroying others’ certainties. The fragility thus denounced or even demonstrated reinforces the solidity of one’s own position. This paper shows the fertility of the experience of doubt, a paradox through which doubt and belief are united by the overlap of opposites. This does not occur through taking pleasure in a sterile obsessive ambivalence, but by accepting to submit the belief to the ordeal of doubt in order to possibly recover the strength of the origins’ evidence.
