Louis-Auguste Blanqui's L'Éternité par les astres reveals the modern writers' critical and ironic attitude towards nineteenth century philosophy of history. Blanqui's project is politicallyoriented, since it tries to symbolize the horizon of historical events without reducing it to an Origin or an Ending. The aporia that appears in his text nevertheless reintroduces the question of origin because his own pragmatics necessarily designates the place and time of its event. How can one pursue the description of a plane, from which all historicity proceeds, without leaving the marks of his own historical inscription ? How, except by repetition, can one refuse to acknowledge the origin of his own speech ?
