Kant said that it is the great scandal of philosophy that it has never been able to establish that the world exists, that it is not a simple dream, a phantasmagoria.
With incisive and playful precision, enemy of all pedantry, Paulhan invites us to consider some paradoxes with which our literary modernity continues to come up against. Everywhere reality retains the double character of an obviousness and an enigma where the visible is always made from a hidden part. Far from wanting to shed light on it, this little treatise reminds us that the enigma remains.
