This question focuses on the point of maximal tension between the philosophical tradition and contemporary thinking about the arts: the relation between the plurality of the human senses—to which the plurality of the arts has most frequently been referred—and sense or meaning in general. Throughout the five essays, Nancy’s argument hinges on the culminating formulation of this relation in Hegel’s Aesthetics and The Phenomenology of Spirit—art as the sensible presentation of the Idea. Demonstrating once again his renowned ability as a reader of Hegel, Nancy scrupulously and generously restores Hegel’s historical argument concerning art as a thing of the past, as that which is negated by the dialectic of Spirit in the passage from aesthetic religion to revealed religion to philosophy.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmItem Weight: 204gAuthor: Jean-Luc NancyTranslator: Peggy KamufContributor: Peggy Kamuf (Translated by)Genre: Philosophy & SpiritualityBook Series: Meridian: Crossing AestheticsTopic: Arts & PhotographyRelease Year: 1997 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
