From L’Espace:
On the occasion of the publication of works by Oscar Brenifier and Jacques Després in Vietnamese, L’Espace organizes a book introduction and a meeting with translator Pham Quang. This book is something for us to think. It’s an exceptional book.
We acknowledge many contradictions at the very young age: tall vs short, cold vs hot, dark vs light. Gradually, our mind becomes more sophisticated. We have the ability to acknowledge more abstract ideas and complicated concepts. But our mind still requires some comparisons. Without contrasting ideas, we can not think.
The book introduces 20 contrasting pairs by listing how they are different, and linking them together by one question and finally drawing out the conclusion why one thing leads to another. The pictures in the book perfectly depicts how the ideas are formed. This book is for us to look at and to think about…
