Abstract
The studies of autobiographical texts, particularly Rousseau's and Nietzsche's, allow us to identify the subversive force inherent in every authentic autobiography, and involve a reflection on the relationship between the subject and the absolute. How is the absolute to be approached from an autobiographical perspective? Notwithstanding the indisputably central role played by the subject in the autobiographical text, the writing unhorses his knight and shows a different reality, depicts the subject in a different light, which is truer and fairer. The paradoxes which arise from the act of narrating oneself debunk the myth of the supposed Power of the Ego to write about itself.
