The concept, placed in various context, shows various aspects and is seen in various shades. The author does not put forward a statement, but rather proposes a work to be done: to determine the modality of transparency. The concept initially seems to be mainly epistemological: the cognizant subject would like to make the world transparent, to discover all possible mysteries. Before that,<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-ansi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"> however, the subject must know itself, and here the dream of trans­parency also plays the key role.
