EPISTEMOLOGY OF AESTHETICS

In Epistemologies of Aesthetics, Dieter Mersch deconstructs and displaces the terminology that typically accompanies the question of the relationship between art and scientific truth. Identifying artistic practices as modes of thought that do not make use of langu age in a way that can easily be translated into scientific discourse, Mersch advocates for an aesthetic mode of thought beyond the linguistic turn, a way of thinking that cannot be substituted by any other disciplinary system.
