"In a certain way, this attempt to surpass metaphysics is already well known. We find it in different degrees in Nietzsche, Marx, and Heidegger. The only general name that befits it was coined by Jarry: pataphysics. Pataphysics must be defined: "An epiphenomenon is that which is added on to a phenomenon. Pataphysics ... is the science of that which is added on to metaphysics, either from within, or outside it, extending as far beyond metaphysics as metaphyics extends beyond physics. E.g. since the epiphenomenon is often equated with the accident, pataphysics will be above all the science of the particular, even though it is said that science deals only with the general."." |
