- Description
- Argues that in PardT "allegory and form straddle the boundaries of finitude in order to raise the question of how finitude is constituted," thereby sharing or anticipating several concerns and questions raised by object-oriented, materialist philosophy. Paradoxically concerned with death and the mundane transcendence of relics, PardPT explores the boundaries and continuities between sign and signified, finitude and infinity, and singularity and form.
