This insightful book examines the deep connections between aesthetic experiences and our understanding of existence, particularly through the lens of The Sensible Invisible.
In The Sensible Invisible, the author explores the intricate relationship between aesthetic experience and our understanding of existence. This book delves deep into the ontological and metaphysical dimensions of aesthetics, presenting it as a fundamental human experience. The text emphasizes how our complexities as individuals are shaped by our interactions with the world, revealing the layers of meaning that aesthetic experiences can evoke.
The book unfolds through two distinct yet interconnected perspectives. The first perspective is rooted in an ontological-aesthetic framework, drawing on Merleau-Ponty’s notion of the flesh-element. This exploration aims to articulate a new understanding of being, one that transcends traditional categories of the living and the artificial. By examining this new entity, readers are invited to reconsider the essence of existence in a world that is increasingly defined by virtuality.
The second perspective shifts focus to the aesthetico-metaphysical realm, analyzing the concept of deixis within aesthetic and linguistic experiences. This section attempts to illuminate the role of aesthetic language as a precursor to meta-empirical reasoning, suggesting that the way we articulate our experiences can shape our comprehension of reality. Overall, The Sensible Invisible offers a profound investigation into how aesthetic experiences inform our understanding of existence and the nature of being.
