According to his own confession, till 25 years old Florentin Smarandache was not interested by literature, but he even scorned it. Was it a normal reaction, till a point, of the scientist (the mathematician, in this case) against the imagination’s products- the arts and literature? The fact that only then he began to write could have many explanations and significance. The beginning of figures’ vibration will have , however, for the mathematician Smarandache, an importance at least equal with that one of the algorithms and the figures themselves.
...Therefore, the literary histories are put in front of an event- a literary one, certainly! - that they will have, volens-nolens, to mention, in the worst case, if not to analyze at an equal level with the other movements from the so large and complex field of the letters: the paradoxism.
At the beginning of 1980’s, a well-known playwright and man of theatre, the Frenchman Jacques Sarthou from Theatre de l’Ile de France, receiving from Florentin Smarandache the “Manifeste non-conformiste pour un nouveau movement litter ire, le Paradoxisme”, was so enthusiastic at the reading of the new movement’s programme, that claimed the author “le plus grand poete du xx-eme siecle”.
This collection of articles explores a wide range of subject, from Godel’s incompleteness theorem, to possible technocalypse and neutrofuturology. Articles on historical debates on irrational number to electroculture, on vortex particle, or on different Neutrosophic applications are included.
The book is structured in two parts as follows:- in the first part, the theory of paradoxism through its first six published worldwidemanifestos (1983-2010);- in the second part, the paradoxism collected from the international (English, French,Spanish/Arabic, and Romanian) folklore in images and paradoxist situations.PARADOXISM is an avant-garde movement in literature, art, philosophy, science, based onexcessive use of antitheses, antinomies, contradictions, parables, odds, anti-clichés, deviations of senses,against-the-grain speech, nonsense, paraphrases, oxymorons, inversions, digressions, paradoxes,semiparadoxes, etc. in creations.It was set up and led by the writer Florentin Smarandache since 1980's, who said: "The goal is toenlargement of the artistic sphere through non-artistic elements. But especially the counter-time,counter-sense creation. Also, to experiment."
