Reviews

Art's Claim to Truth offers much to work with with in the field of contemporary aesthetics. -- Daniel Guentchev, Kinesis


Whether he is reflecting on the relation between truth and aesthetic experience, unpacking the tensions between critical interpretations and the original potential of the work of art, or exploring the implications of the thesis that the viewer is part of the work, Vattimo keeps his eye on the target: a concept of the work as the origin of the possible, the first exemplar of a law that itself brings into being without exhausting it. -- Steven Crowell
