FRIAS Research Project


Erscheinungsdinge. Ästhetik als Phänomenologie (accomplishment of a book)

The book is conceived as a phenomenological elaboration of philosophical aesthetics and thereby as a new conception of philosophical aesthetics as such.  The book will be not be restricted to art but nevertheless concentrated on it.  The structure, the appearance, and the accessibility of artworks will be discussed under the presupposition that art, including modern art, is essentially beautiful. Artworks are transparent beautiful things, which only because of their beauty have a prominent deictic function. They reveal by showing, and the show by showing themselves. The deictic function of art can be described only adequately by elucidating the spatial character of artworks. Therefore the concluding considerations of the book will be devoted to the character of space.
