The Possibilist

"The Possibilist is a tribute to the both the dissolution of private experience and the anthropocentric point of view explored in Musil and recognized everywhere else as a symptom of the postmodern condition. It is also a tribute to Ulrich, “the possibilist” who believed that “God Himself probably preferred to speak of His world in the subjunctive of possibility.” We will dwell in a world of incoherent ideas “spreading outward without a center,” because we advocate no specific possibilities—but rather any and all of them. As a cultural institution, The Possibilist, like the impractical man, “will always be unreliable and unpredictable in his relations with others. He will engage in actions that mean more to himself than to others, but is at peace with himself about everything as long as he can make it all come together in a fine idea.”
