RATIONAL ↔ IRRATIONAL / IMAGINAL

RATIONAL ↔ IRRATIONAL / IMAGINAL

The problem is not intellect versus body. Intellect is both source of alienation and the most developed tool available for processing that alienation. The Weekly Question apparatus is built with the tool Clarisse is also trying to escape.

Theory is both medicine and symptom. During CPPM, theory stopped being a shield and became a companion. This is not abandoning theory: theoretical language enters experience rather than remaining in front of it. By Term 3, Tiqqun, Corbin and Agamben can appear inside confession, dream and bodily experience rather than functioning only as distancing devices.

Irrationality remains both exile/misunderstanding and vocation connected to joy. Do not choose between them.
