Beyond aesthetic experience and metaphor : preliminary remarks on a program of radical philosophy of art based on the work of Emmanuel Levinas

Abstract:
To the extent that aesthetics conceived of the artwork as an object of sense-perception, it also entertained the view that art equals its aesthetic experience. However both art history that was elevated to the rank of science in the course of twentieth century against its romantic heritage and several modern prewar artistic movements criticized art as avenue of aesthetic experience, particularly the aesthetic experience of beauty. My task in the present paper is to consider art neither as relief via aesthetic experience, nor as consolation against difficulties of life, nor even as concealment of such difficulties but as revelation, knowledge and responsibility. Yet in order to accomplish the above mentioned task a reconsideration of many fundamental premises of aesthetics is needed. Such a reconsideration may draw resources from Emmanuel Levinas’s work. Levinas’s iconoclastic philosophy of art replaces images with concepts, representation with writing and sense perception with the structure of artistic signification. Furthermore, metaphorical vision is replaced by literal meaning. The program of an iconoclastic philosophy of art may thus be delineated on the basis of Emmanuel Levinas’s philosophy, with constant reference to Plato
