Synopsis
The uncertainty of the world lies in the fact that it has no equivalent anywhere; it cannot be exchanged for anything. The uncertainty of thought lies in the fact that it cannot be exchanged either for truth or for reality. Jean Baudrillard’s now familiar investigations into reality and hyper-reality shift here into a more metaphysical frame.
