Produktbeschreibung
This is a brief work that touches on some general subjects, mainly in relation to art. The author takes various subjects and expands on their philosophical implications. It offers various ways to think about what are usually just passing thoughts and in the process weaves together not so much a solution to problems, but an identification of the underlying misunderstanding of such topics. One is reminded of Wittgenstein's idea that philosophy presents various quandaries, because of the limits of our language rather than the capacity to find a solution with and through language. In this sense, the author has delved into art and related subjects with a stylistically brief focus and avoided analysis for its own sake.
