<<<I can't go into the topic right now, but I believe it was this notion of
flux and the paralogical that led Lyotard after the PMC to become the
philosopher of the sublime.  If reality is only flux, then it cannot be
represented.  The paralogical strains to point out what cannot be shown:
the postmodern sublime as the limit to infinity.>>>

Don Smith replies:
So parology is Lyotard's idea of a new discourse that is compatible with
postmodernism?
