The publication of Arvydas Sliogeris's The Thing and Art: Two Essays on the Ontotopy of the Work of Art is an important event. A central figure in Lithuanian philosophy, Sliogeris's work makes its appearance in the series edited by Leonidas Donskis, On the Boundary of Two Worlds: Identity, Freedom, and Moral Imagination in the Baltics. It is a work that can be singled out for the brilliance of his style, as well as for the philosophical preoccupations that would, on the surface, define it as postmodernist. Yet a profound conservatism inspires Sliogeris's work, which is at odds with postmodernist critiques of origins and universalism. Still, in one sense, he shares the contemporary preoccupation with the development of a non-aesthetical philosophy of art. in: The European Legacy, Vol. 17, No. 6, pp. 827-829, 2012
