Product Description

Product Description

This book, the first comprehensive study in English of Heidegger’s philosophy of art, starts in the mid-1930s with Heidegger’s discussion of the Greek temple and his Hegelian declaration that a great artwork gathers together an entire culture in affirmative celebration of its foundational ‘truth’, and that, by this criterion, art in modernity is ‘dead’. His subsequent work on Hölderlin, whom he later identified as the decisive influence on his mature philosophy, led him into a passionate engagement with the art of Rilke, Cézanne, Klee and Zen Buddhism, liberating him not only from the overly restrictive conception of art of the mid-1930s but also from the disastrous politics of the period. Drawing on material hitherto unknown in the anglophone world, Young establishes a new account of Heidegger’s philosophy of art and shows that his famous essay ‘The Origin of the Work of Art’ is its beginning, not its end.

5.0 out of 5 stars Only a god can save us..............., 7 Mar 2008
Heidegger knew bugger-all about Art. He read poems like a provincial
parson picking away at a text, he was deaf to music's charms, & his famous
commentary on Van Gogh's Granny's boots is a pathetic exercise in self-
parody. But none of that is so awful as his own attempts at poeticizing -
for his evocation poetique of the Old Stone Bridge & the Greek Temple etc
the word "kitsch" is utterly inadequate. Professor Young takes it all
seriously & his complacent clarity is valuable as an exhibition of the
bankruptcy of Heidegger's morbidly-fashionable aesthetics.
