Description
"To respond to and transcend Hegelian dialectics and its Marxism—notably Leninism—responsible for so many millions of deaths, as well as guilty idealism and its chaotic and reviled liberalism, the Lettrist creatist movement has forged a new philosophy: Completism, which is briefly outlined in Maurice Lemaître's work, Le Complétisme, au delà de l'idéalisme et du matérialisme.
Since any new concept must be capable of being well illustrated in art, Maurice Lemaître has also imagined kindly explaining the new philosophy to children, in the same way that so many previous schools have, alas, claimed to do for their own partial vision in their respective teachings."
