                        “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>
                        This is the research field of the Pegasus
                        Institute for Pataphysics. As an institute for
                        hantological pataphysics, it sees its task in
                        the theoretical and practical investigation of
