Klappentext Painting, according to Jean-Luc Marion, is a central topic of concern for philosophy, particularly phenomenology. For the question of painting is, at its heart, a question of visibility--of appearance. As such, the painting is a privileged case of the phenomenon; the painting becomes an index for investigating the conditions of appearance--or what Marion describes as "phenomenality" in general. > Zusammenfassung Painting, according to Jean-Luc Marion, is a topic of central concern for philosophy, particularly phenomenology. These four studies carefully consider the history of painting - from classical to contemporary - as a fund for phenomenological reflection on the conditions of (in)visibility.
