<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong>ABC
of Impossibility </strong></span><br>
by Simon Critchley<br>
August 10th, 2015<br>
<strong>An experimental text of para-philosophical fragments
working toward a poetic ontology</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">How does one write an experimental
ABC: an impossible theory that would deal with a series of
phenomena, concepts, places, sensations, persons, and moods? A
para-philosophy? Returning to a once abandoned project of
fragmented thoughts where the author’s voice moves from the
serious, to the pathetic, to the absurd, to the cynical, Simon
Critchley’s <em>ABC of Impossibility</em> finds new life in the
form of this small encyclopedic and aphoristic text where the
reader bears witness to the slow emergence of an attempt at a
poetic ontology. <em>ABC of Impossibility</em> is a unique
undertaking that returns to the poetic site of the fragment as
thought. Following a heritage of fragmented, aphoristic thinkers
including Pascal, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard and Pessoa, Critchley
revitalizes a para-philosophical thinking that can only be
uttered by way of another, as he declares in the opening pages,
“In writing this, I promise to tell the truth, but not to be
myself.”<br>
