statement . . .
Using a technique first used in volume 2 of The Three Critiques of Immanuel Kant, this project takes
100 ‘classics’ from Western philosophy and history and reduces them to their punctuation. Each volume is perfect-bound
in standardised paper covers, imitating such serial publishing projects as the Everyman’s Library.
