Impossible Objects
By:Simon Critchley,Carl Cederström,Todd Kesselman
Published on 2011-12-12 by Polity
Impossible objects are those about which the philosopher, narrowly conceived, can hardly speak: poetry, film, music, humor. Such |objects| do not rely on philosophy for interpretation and understanding; they are already independent practices and sites of sensuous meaning production. As Elvis Costello has said, |writing about music is like dancing about architecture.| We don't need literary theory in order to be riveted by the poem, nor a critic's analysis to enjoy a film. How then can philosophy speak about anything outside of itself, namely all of those things which actually matter to us in this world? In Impossible Objects, Simon Critchley - one of the most influential and insightful philosophers writing today - extends his philosophical investigation into non-philosophical territories, including discussions on tragedy, poetry, humor, and music. In a series of engaging and enlightening conversations, Critchley reflects on his early work on the ethics of deconstruction; the recurring themes of mortality and nihilism; his defense of neo-anarchism; and his recent investigation into secular faith, or |a faith of the faithless|. Essential reading for artists, academics, and general readers alike, this book explores the relationship between the philosophical world and those complex and fascinating |impossible objects| which give life meaning.
