Abstract (English)"SPHERE may be a speculative foray into the world of Spherology, but it is also meant to raise questions about how humans choose, and overlook, subjects in art and in science. Spheres, as a separate subject, have been outside the current paradigms in both areas, taken for granted, perhaps, as part of the background noise of the universe. It could be proposed, for instance, that the history of ideas itself, as a ‘working around the subject of knowledge’, can be seen as a spherical entity in which the accumulation of information enlarges the size of the bubble of knowledge." -- Publisher's website.
