The Metaphysical Proposition
The Metaphysical Proposition
Chapter three examines the construction of philosophical concepts. The chapter offers a defense of the imagination in the formation of metaphysical propositions. Arguing for a return to metaphysics, Neyrat distinguishes philosophy from other disciplines by bringing attention to the out-of-place that drives philosophical thinking. What separates philosophy is its definition as a reflexive practice of atopia. At the same time, the madness of philosophical atopia leads philosophy toward its others: Chapter three concludes by investigating philosophical atopia as it inflects the sciences, art, religion, and politics.
