• Resumen

  • The principle of Caillois's Esthétique généralisée is that all in nature is beautiful, in the subject's absence ; but the system is haunted by the ghost of the excluded subject. Caillois's fascination, in his texts on minerals, with the « quarte-fantôme », which carries its own image en abyme within itself, is symptomatic of the fantasm at the heart of his generalised aesthetics — and at the heart of the modern extension of the aesthetic relation.
