He aims to describe the world from outside one's point of view and to give us an idea of all constraints from a point of view that posits the possible absence of a point of view. This book aims to help us grasp and transform the conditions of our existence by paying equal attention to what is ending and what is just beginning, to the dusk and to the dawn. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 153 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23 September 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Polity Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTristan Garcia, a philosopher and novelist, seamlessly navigates two distinct realms: metaphysics and literary fiction, akin to an amphibious creature thriving in both land and sea, effortlessly absorbing the essence of both air and water. His fascination with metaphysics stems from its inherent allure as the precipice of thought, an unstable frontier where the boundaries of logic and non-contradiction crumble, freeing the mind to explore uncharted territories. Metaphysics endeavors to describe the world from an external perspective, seeking to unveil the intricate tapestry that confines us within our circumstances, time, and place. It aspires to recreate an ecstatic understanding of the forces that imprison us, be it the limitations imposed by our subjectivities, the constraints of our environment, or the very essence of our existence itself. By offering a vantage point that posits the possibility of a viewpoint-free existence, metaphysics grants us a profound insight into the myriad constraints that shape our lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis concise yet comprehensive book serves as both an introduction to Garcia's work and a gateway to his profound thinking. Its central objective is to guide us toward a transformative understanding of our existence by equally attending to the twilight of endings and the dawn of beginnings. It encourages us to embrace the fullness of life, from its fading moments to its nascent possibilities, until our very breath is suspended in awe. Through his writings, Tristan Garcia invites us to embark on a journey of introspection and self-discovery, urging us to confront the limitations imposed upon us and to embrace the boundless potential that lies within us. As we delve into the depths of metaphysics and literary fiction, we are invited to explore the intricacies of the human condition, to question the nature of reality, and to seek solace and enlightenment in the vast expanse of thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 214g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 139 x 215 x 15 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781509552245\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"T Garcia","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44106044080378,"sku":"9781509552245","price":13.38,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1663945652468_book.jpg?v=1664015260","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/architecture-of-the-possible-9781509552245","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
