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.

Abstract: Impossible objects are those about which the philosopher, narrowly conceived, can hardly speak: poetry, film, music, humor.

اشیای غیرممکن آنهایی هستند که فیلسوف به سختی می تواند درباره آنها صحبت کند: شعر، فیلم، موسیقی، طنز. این گونه «اشیاء» برای تفسیر و فهم بر فلسفه تکیه نمی کنند. آنها قبلاً اعمال مستقل و مکان های تولید معنای حسی هستند. همانطور که الویس کاستلو گفته است، “نوشتن در مورد موسیقی مانند رقصیدن درباره معماری است.” ما نه نیازی به تئوری ادبی داریم تا بتوانیم را شعر بچسبانیم، و نه به تحلیل منتقد برای لذت بردن از یک فیلم. پس چگونه فلسفه می تواند در مورد هر چیزی خارج از خود صحبت کند، یعنی همه چیزهایی که واقعاً برای ما در این جهان اهمیت دارند.» سیمون کریچلی – یکی از تأثیرگذارترین و روشنگرترین فیلسوفانی که امروز می نویسد – در «اشیاء غیرممکن»، تحقیقات فلسفی خود را در مورد غیر ممکن گسترش می دهد. قلمروهای فلسفی، از جمله بحث در مورد تراژدی، شعر، طنز و موسیقی. کریچلی در یک سلسله گفتگوهای جذاب و روشنگرانه به کارهای اولیه خود در مورد اخلاق ساختارشکنی می پردازد. مضامین تکرار شونده فناپذیری و نیهیلیسم؛ دفاع او از نئوآنارشیسم؛ و تحقیقات اخیر او در مورد ایمان سکولار یا “ایمان بی ایمانان”. این کتاب که خواندنی ضروری برای هنرمندان، دانشگاهیان و عموم خوانندگان به طور یکسان است، رابطه بین دنیای فلسفی و آن «اشیای غیرممکن» پیچیده و جذابی را که به زندگی معنا می بخشند، بررسی می کند. ادامه مطلب…
