 Syrian-Lebanese writer, Adonis is considered as one of the greatest Arab poet. In this third and last part untitled "What is reality? ", he gives the poet's vision regarding complexity of real. To Adonis, the turning point of poetic writing is in its capacity to open new perspectives to see the world. The message of a poem, to him, is not in what it says but in what it hides. This power is intimately linked to the question of sense and non-sense of the world and more particularly to the principle of contradiction, essential not only in poetry but also in mystic: "God is not God, God is non God".
The poetic vision rejects "the terror of the unique", inherent to monotheists, and establishes a constant balance between one and multiple. It refuses this "fixation of the moving" proper to religion of the Book, always suit according to Adonis to confine the living in its representations. It's there that the notion of Tiers hidden, between the subject and the object, between the ego and the world, can help man to get free from his representations.
 
The living God of mystics is a God "non captable", moreover: he is a "poet God" since to Adonis: "everything is poetry for mystics, even God! What is essential is not to know it (then to fix it) but to know how to go towards Him"...
What are the links between poetry and science? Is the definition poets and scientists give of the notion of sense compatible?
What links exist between the Tiers hidden and Surrealism or a general manner to all form of avant-garde ?
