Description
Ruda and Yeung present in philosophical-poetic counterpoint a series of meditations on the wager of thought and of the speculative possibility of thought‘s own impossible objectification (in language as a given position or mode). In so doing they address as concepts or potentialities a suite of ideas that allow the exposure of a given symptom of speculation – capital, the stuck, foreignness, the absolute, the break. Can the poet, can the philosopher speak to this (to each other)? This question, the site of experiment. The counterpoint’s possibility, the wager. - Princeton University English Department and Interdisciplinary Program in the Humanities
