Gabriel Catren is a philosopher and a physicist working at the
Institut SPHERE--Science, Philosophie, Histoire (Universite Paris
Diderot--CNRS, Paris).The great poets and thinkers of modernity
described a situation we still inhabit today: the catastrophic
undermining of all foundations, the disorienting relativization of
all reference points, the prospect of abandonment to chance and
contingency alone--the shipwreck of Mallarme's Coup de des. In this
precise and poetic work of philosophy, Gabriel Catren sketches out
a new "phenoumenodelic" solution to this momentous ungrounding,
defiantly refusing both unrestrained contingency and arbitrary
refoundation. Mobilizing a formidable knowledge of the major
currents of modern thought, deftly articulating Kantian
transcendentalism and Spinozan immanentism, phenomenological
reduction and scientific realism, Catren argues that the projects
oriented by the infinite ideas of reason (Truth, Beauty, Justice,
Love) need not be abandoned in the face of the "exquisite crisis"
of modernity. Instead, the "shipwreck" is to be understood as a
suspension of finite subjectivity in the fullness of a
"phenoumenodelic pleroma," an atonal milieu ringing with unheard-of
possibilities. Announcing an ambitious program for the renewal of
transcendental philosophy, in Pleromatica Catren recomposes the
primary elements of modern thought into a startling new
configuration, introducing a vivid constellation of new concepts
with which to map out and navigate the vast space of this
"worldless daydream."
