This chapter introduces Euripides' play Ion and the main character as an aporetic subject. The play offers ideal grounds for the convergence between Lacan, Baudrillard, and Stiegler. Fearless speech (parrhesia as defined by Foucault) is comparable to Lacan's full speech, a mode of speaking in which the subject is sustained by nothing else but their aporia. In Baudrillard, this moment corresponds to an impossible exchange between conventional truth and truth as an unassimilable piece of knowledge. From Stiegler's perspective, the Ion articulates the young man's demand for an interpretation (hermeneia) of the past that will set the conditions for a hopeful future in democratic Athens.
