Description

Explore the deep connection between visual expression and philosophical thought in Figuring Out Figurative Art. This collection addresses the gap identified by Friedrich Schlegel, providing a work that contains both rigorous philosophy and meaningful art. By bringing together an international team of leading thinkers, this book explores the diverse issues raised by recent works of art. Each essay in this volume engages directly with a specific artwork. Through this method, thirteen contemporary philosophers demonstrate how philosophical inquiry can aid in the interpretation of contemporary paintings. The text examines the relationship between the image and its underlying content by looking at the work of ten contemporary artists. This book is an essential resource for those interested in how modern thought interacts with the visual world.
