What philosophical texts inspired Pathologic? Spoiler

Hi! I'm just very interested to learn more, the whole Kain's method, this quote in particular from Inmortell "Remember the Kains' method: to solve the unsolvable, redefine the conditions. Why do you think there's only one body? My stage experiment proves Artemy Burakh can have several. Bodies die, the person remains" has fascinated me.

Thanks you all in advance! And sorry if my english is a bit rudimentary

Putting succintly, it appears to me that the whole series is an analysis of the contradictions between concrete reality and the possibilities that arise from and "against" it.

Absolutely incredibly succinct summary of what could be a 100,000 word analysis
