Record Type: concept
pataphysics (<historical, theoretical, and critical concepts>, <concepts in the arts and humanities>, Associated Concepts (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Refers to a philosophy of the absurd, or knowledge that eludes rational notions of causation or scientific inquiry. Coinage of the term is attributed to the writer Alfred Jarry to describe a "science of imaginary solutions." The concept, though originally speculative or fictional, has inspired publications, artworks, a literary school, and a society known as the Collège de 'pataphysique.

Additional Notes:
Dutch ..... Verwijst naar een absurdistische filosofie, of naar kennis die zich onttrekt aan rationele begrippen van oorzaak en gevolg of wetenschappelijk onderzoek. Men denkt dat de term is bedacht door de schrijver Alfred Jarry, die er een 'wetenschap van denkbeeldige oplossingen' mee beschreef.
