In the conclusion, I return again to the difference between thought and knowledge, matter and form, and the beautiful and aesthetic but this time in relation to a common yet undeveloped concept in Lyotard: stupor. Stupor is different from both ignorance and arrogance, and refers to an infancy of subjectivity in which the subject is disseized of the ability to understand. I then relate this to Lyotard’s writing—and appreciation of—political sectarianism, which is always errant and unpredictable while simultaneously still organizing and cohering politics and pedagogy. In the end, I acknowledge that we may ourselves have to drift from Lyotard as we continue our initiation into his thinking.
