The life and work of the outstanding Catalan-Majorcan philosopher,
logician, and mystic Ramon Llull continues to fascinate thinkers,
artists, and scholars worldwide In this book, international experts
from Europe and the United States address Lullism as a remarkable
and distinctive method of thinking and experimenting. The origins
and impact of Ramon Llull's oeuvre as a modern thinker are
presented, and their interdisciplinary and intercultural
implications, which continue to this day, are explored. Ars
combinatoria, generative and permutative generation of texts, the
epistemic and poetic power of algorithmic systems, plus the
principle of unconditional dialogue between cultural groups and
their individual members, are the most important coordinates of
this combinatorial-dialogical media and communication theory, which
appeared very early in the history of science, technology, and art.
It was developed in the work of Ramon Llull during the transition
from the thirteenth to the fourteenth century when Arab-Islamic,
Jewish, and Christian cultures intersected. The legacy of Lullism
lives on in poetry and in the visual and electronic-based arts, as
well as in research on the history of informatics, formal logic,
and media archaeology. The primary idea of Llull's teachings-to
enable rational and therefore trustworthy dialogue between cultures
and religions through a universally valid system of symbols-is
today still topical and of great relevance, especially in the
tensions prevailing in globalized spaces of possibility.
