The fundamental idea of Surrealism is a philosophical trope that can be understood in terms of its Neoplatonic legacy as a basic insight into what lies beyond reality – that is, specifically, the surreal. This volume addresses boundary-breaking thought in art and philosophy, concluding Hogrebe’s anthropological quartet Risky Proximity to Life (2010), The Implicit Human (2013), and Metaphysics and Mantics (2nd edition 2013).
