Clearly, it is surrealism that Alquié is explicitly speaking about, and I find his concept of the core of surrealism to be an overall humanistic deviation compared with the antihumanistic dynamics of surrealism which I prefer to emphasise. Would Alquié want to transcend humanism? Maybe, but I can’t see how that makes him succeed in escaping it. And I can’t see how Alquié is not dismissing revolt as childish and maybe sweet and a necessary stage but basically irrelevant to what he considers the constructive and good side of surrealism.merdariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09029591143609753656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522556176561431508.post-56031585481603794392015-08-04T23:44:04.696-07:002015-08-04T23:44:04.696-07:00http://www.amazon.com/Nouveaus-Midnight-Sun-Transc...http://www.amazon.com/Nouveaus-Midnight-Sun-Transcriptions-Golgonooza/dp/099052650XAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522556176561431508.post-16842904331100079992015-08-04T23:42:35.713-07:002015-08-04T23:42:35.713-07:00Actually Alquie finds in *transcendence* the fulfi...Actually Alquie finds in *transcendence* the fulfillment of Surrealism, not humanism. And he does not have done with revolt in the manner you describe. I am active in Surrealism and this is one of my seminal texts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
