Denounced as superficial, illusory, and groundless, images are at the same time attributed with exorbitant power and assigned a privileged relation to truth. Mistrusted by philosophy, forbidden and embraced by religions, manipulated as ?spectacle? and proliferated in the media, images never cease to present their multiple aspects, their paradoxes, their flat but receding spaces.What is this power that lies in the depths and recesses of an image?which is always only an impenetrable surface? What secrets are concealed in the ground or in the figures of an image?which never does anything but show just exactly what it is and nothing else? How does the immanence of images open onto their unimaginable others, their imageless origin?In this collection of writings on images and visual art, Jean-Luc Nancy explores such questions through an extraordinary range of references. From Renaissance painting and landscape to photography and video, from the image of Roman death masks to the language of silent film, from Cleopatra to Kant and Heidegger, Nancy pursues a reflection on visuality that goes far beyond the many disciplines with which it intersects. He offers insights into the religious, cultural, political, art historical, and philosophical aspects of the visual relation, treating such vexed problems as the connection between image and violence, the sacred status of images, and, in a profound and important essay, the forbidden representation of the Shoah. In the background of all these investigations lies a preoccupation with finitude, the unsettling forces envisaged by the images that confront us, the limits that bind us to them, the death that stares back at us from their frozen traits and distant intimacies.In these vibrant and complex essays, a central figure in European philosophy continues to 330 8 $awork through some of the most important questions of our time. Jean-Luc Nancy is Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the Universite? Marc Bloch, Strasbourg. The most recent of his many books to be published in English are A Finite Thinking and Multiple Arts. Jeff Fort has translated works by authors such as Jean Genet, Maurice Blanchot, and Jacques Derrida. He is currently a lecturer in the Department of Comparative Literature at the University of California, Berkeley. 410 0$aPerspectives in continental philosophy ;$vno. 51. 606 $aAesthetics 606 $aImage (Philosophy) 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAesthetics. 615 0$aImage (Philosophy) 676 $a111/.85 700 $aNancy$b Jean-Luc$0157114 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910479966003321 996 $aThe Ground of the Image$92445480 997 $aUNINA
