Dag Petersson offers a comprehensive critique of the philosophy that has dominated
200 years of modern thought, politics, economy, and culture. The basic question is
this: why does dialectical metaphysics fail to keep what it promises? What is it about
dialectics, that makes it fall into irreducibly distinct variations of itself, when
all it promises is to synthesize, to reconcile and make whole what is fragmented and
alien to itself? An undisciplined creativity intrinsic to completing reason comes
to light through analyses of how dialectical systems begin. Every dialectical philosophy
must account for its own birth, and it is at this point, when it also articulates
its promise of universal synthesis, that the book discovers a desire for light-writing,
or photography. Only the most immediate element light can mediate the necessary self-determination
of thought at its origin. Light must begin to write. A philosophical critique of dialectics
is therefore also a point of departure for a new aesthetic ontology of photography
