The Place of the Symbolic

Essays on Art and Politics
BuchKartoniert, Paperback

diaphaneserschienen am19.09.2023
This book weaves together Reiner Schürmann´s work on art and politics, drawing on a range of the most important thinkers and poets of the twentieth century and beyond.The Place of the Symbolic gathers Reiner Schürmann´s essays on the nexus of art and politics. In keeping with his translation of the destruction of metaphysics into an an-archic philosophy of practice, Schürmann develops a radical theory of the place of symbols, irreducible either to idealist theories of symbols or structuralist accounts of the symbolic. Symbols, Schürmann argues, may provide a bridge between ontological difference and politics. They resist being grasped metaphysically, in terms of representation. Instead, their understanding requires a specific way of existence: attending to the coming-to-presence of phenomena. As such, the understanding of symbols discloses a form of praxis that abandons ultimate grounds and opens onto the manifold. Alongside Schürmann´s theory of symbols, the collection includes essays on the relation between metaphysics, tragedy, and technology; on the there is in poetry; as well as on judgment. Throughout these characteristically lucid interventions, Schürmann´s most urgent concern remains a consideration of singular and finite practices that enact a release from universal principles. Art and politics appear here as the unworking of ultimate grounds; that is, as practices attuned to a truly groundless form of life.mehr
