Umberto Eco's The Open Work
collecting "a number of essays on open form aesthetics" Eco wrote in the early 1960s
works in which "the various component parts are all endowed with equal value and dignity, and [in which] the whole construct expands towards a totality which is close to the infinite. It refuses to be hemmed in by any ideal normative conception of the world. It shares in a general urge toward discovery and constantly renewed contact with reality"
