- Description
- Shows how NPT, FranT, and Ret reveal the rigor of Chaucer's philosophy, comparing matter-form distinctions underlying these works with the positions of a wide range of notable philosophers, from Plato and Aristotle to Jacques Lacan and François Laruelle, the latter closest to Chaucer's perspective. NPT "serves as" Chaucer's Logic; FranT his Ethics; with Ret as "a formal retraction of a formal retraction," through which we "experience [Chaucer's] love for us" by way of (un-)decidability.
