Bag om The Fundamental Field

Thought? a thin white line on a great blackboard which at rare so very rare moments is alive with light. At Skjolden: Salutations to Wittgenstein The Scottish poet Kenneth White and the Australian philosopher Jeff Malpas came together by chance when Malpas heard an interview with White on ABC radio. Malpas contacted White, and from there they exchanged books and ideas. They arranged to meet at White's place on the Breton coast, where a conversation about poetry and philosophy developed over four days. Inspired by poets from John Donne to Hölderlin, and philosophers from Nietzsche to Heidegger, they discussed the world, place, narrative, language and politics. This book records that conversation. The Fundamental Field is made up of two essays: the first is by White on Malpas; the second is by Malpas on White. The volume closes with a set of three new philosophical poems by White. Jeff Malpas is Emeritus Distinguished Professor at the University of Tasmania in Hobart and Distinguished Visiting Professor at LaTrobe University in Melbourne. He lives in the Huon Valley in Tasmania. Kenneth White as a Scoto-European writer publishes in English and French. He held the Chair of Twentieth Century Poetics at Paris-Sorbonne from 1983 to 1996. He lives on the north coast of Brittany.

Thought?
a thin white line
on a great blackboard
which at rare
so very rare moments
is alive with light.
