                      “An
                      institute for pataphysics sounds dangerous, even
                      provocative,
                      especially when you consider that pataphysics is
                      traditionally
                      regarded as a completely absurd science, as a
                      science that is
                      basically not a science - a science gone mad, a
                      crazy science.</font><br>
                    <br>
                    <font face="Arial">And
                      yet, in times when fact and fiction are becoming
                      increasingly
                      confused, intermingling and merging, it is not so
                      clear whether
                      modern science itself is not a little mad.
                      Science, like everything
                      that exists, can basically only be relative. No
                      argumentation can be
                      seamless, no knowledge absolute. Basically, this
                      means that science
                      and pataphysics cannot be separated from each
                      other as clearly as is
                      classically thought, indeed that science is always
                      to some extent
                      pataphysics and vice versa.</font><br>
                    <br>
                    <font face="Arial">With
                      this realisation, hantology or the hantological,
                      as Derrida calls it,
                      enters the stage - a conception of being that, in
                      contrast to the
                      classical ontological one, assumes a
                      threshold-like being, a relative
                      being. Even if such a being is traditionally
                      understood as tragedy
                      and drama, it is essentially happiness: for it is
                      only because what
                      is is limited that it can be with itself and with
                      others. That which
                      is, is relative, i.e. involved in multiple
                      relationships.<br>

                      is the research field of the Pegasus Institute for
