This essay imagines the shape a phenomenology of betrayal would assume at the limits of phenomenology. With Caravaggio’s 1602 painting Cattura di Cristo for an aesthetic backdrop, I consider the paradoxical structure of betrayal with its interwoven strands of a surplus disclosure and a breach of trust. I go on to elaborate the relation of this complex term, at once positive and negative, to time, conceptuality, and truth. Ultimately, I am interested in how betrayal as a limit of phenomenology, where the coherence of intentionality and its correlations or of intuition and its fulfillments break down, underwrites the very possibility of phenomenological endeavor.

背叛：一种哲学

这篇文章想象了背叛的现象学在现象学的极限下会呈现出的形状。以卡拉瓦乔 1602 年的画作《Cattura di Cristo》作为审美背景，我考虑了背叛的矛盾结构，其中交织着多余的披露和信任的破坏。我继续阐述这个复杂的术语，既有积极的也有消极的，与时间、概念和真理的关系。归根结底，我感兴趣的是背叛作为现象学的一种限制，在这种情况下，意向性及其相关性或直觉及其实现的连贯性崩溃了，如何保证现象学努力的可能性。
