Space, Territory, Occupy: Towards A Non-Phenomenological Dwelling, Brett Mommersteeg

The second details the immanence of stupidity within thought and culminates in a practice of showing through silence. The third investigates the consequences of aesthetics for the theory of Ideas, and culminates in the concepts of ‘late intuition’ and of a form of life. Each argues for a new way of broaching …
