Artistic Truth: Aesthetics, Discourse, and Imaginative Disclosure - Paperback

by Lambert Zuidervaart (Author), Zuidervaart Lambert (Author)

Lambert Zuidervaart challenges current intellectual trends by proposing a new hermeneutic theory of artistic truth, engaging with both analytic and continental philosophies and clarifying the contemporary cultural scene. Although it is unfashionable to talk about artistic truth, its issues have not disappeared. Indeed, questions concerning the role of the artist in society, the relationship between art and knowledge, and the validity of cultural interpretation have actually intensified.
