Eva Koethen (Hrsg./Ed.) Begegnungen zwischen Kunst, Philosophie und Wissenschaft

About this book

ENCOUNTERS BETWEEN ART, PHILOSOPHY AND SCIENCE brings together papers presented at an international conference with the same title and seeks to initiate a fruitful exchange between theoretical reflections and artistic practice. This volume, presented in German and English, opens up a broad range of perspectives on different aspects of abstraction and concretion, on associated aesthetic phenomena and literary evidence. Interdisciplinary in approach, each paper engages with images and texts in a different way, allowing for a fascinating juxtaposition of perspectives and serving as a mirror of what was a lively exchange of insights and views. An important point of reference is Friedrich Nietzsche, who showed ways towards a ‘more joyful’ science and ‘physiologically-supported search for truth’.

With contributions by Sabine Amstad, Hinderk Emrich, Annegret Kehrbaum, Reinhard Knodt, Eva Koethen, Wiebrecht Ries, Thorsten Schirmer and Marcella Tarozzi-Goldsmith, whose poetic and pictorial aphorisms are illustrated in colour in this volume.
