The Vanishing Point reads the history of philosophy as a single operation: ontologization. The subject's act of distinction is converted into an independent feature of reality. Across six levels of recursive distinction, every major system delegates the subject's work to an external construct. The apparent progress of philosophy is the relocation of the same error. The book dismantles the mechanism and traces what remains: transparency, the meta-position reclaimed, the Black Flame — the subject as the ungrounded source of its own distinguishing. Fourth volume in the Philosophy of the Left-Hand Path series.
