In Stupidity Avital Ronell explores the fading empire of cognition,
modulating stupidity into idiocy, puerility, and the figure of the
ridiculous philosopher instituted by Kant. Drawing on a range of
writers including Dostoevsky, Schlegel, Musil, and Wordsworth,
Stupidity investigates ignorance, dumbfounded-ness, and the limits
of reason. Â
