Cognition is a paradoxical process, from the moment of the formation of human subjectivity, through its relationship with the Other (or more precisely: l'autre) and with the world, to the ontological status of the world as such. This is what this book has at stake.

The book deals with selected aspects of poststructural thought which are introduced into the language of contemporary science, prose, and poetry. Such an enterprise is possible by treating philosophy, science, and poetry as languages which can try to enter into a dialogue through metaphors. This is the ground on which the project is implemented.

Ewa Szumilewicz obtained her PhD in the Institute of Philosophy and Sociology of the Polish Academy of Sciences. She is the author of the poetical prose ‘W Nibysłowach’ (In Neverwords), published in 2020. Her research interests include French philosophy and philosophy of physics.
