Böcker av Laurent Dubreuil

This book theorizes the extraordinary regimes of humanmental experience by putting the emphasis on poetry. Poetry grants us the ability to move beyond the very limitsof thought. This essay is at the interface of literary theory, cognitivescience and philosophy and is uniquely comparative, encompassing dozens ofdifferent traditions, from all continents, from Ancient times to now.

Dubreuil provocatively proposes an extremist rethinking of the limits of politics - toward a break from politics, the political and policies. He calls for a refusal of politics, suggesting a form of apolitics that would make our lives more liveable.

Dubreuil explores the power-language phenomenon in the context of European and, particularly, French colonialism and its aftermath.
