{"product_id":"the-crossing-of-the-visible-jean-luc-marion-9780804733922","title":"The Crossing of the Visible","description":"\u003cp\u003ePainting, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Crossing of the Visible\u003c\/i\u003e, Marion takes up just such a project. The natural outgrowth of his earlier reflections on icons, 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. Ranging across artists from Raphael to Rothko, Caravaggio to Pollock, \u003ci\u003eThe Crossing of the Visible\u003c\/i\u003e offers both a critique of contemporary accounts of the visual and a constructive alternative. According to Marion, the proper response to the \"nihilism\" of postmodernity is not iconoclasm, but rather a radically iconic account of the visual and the arts that opens them to the invisible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean-Luc Marion\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804733929\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804733922\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/11\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.22w x 0.33d","brand":"Jean-Luc Marion","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992452399359,"sku":"9780804733922","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dd378911-2692-4f48-9ec8-c982ef3adfa3.jpg?v=1683319028","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-crossing-of-the-visible-jean-luc-marion-9780804733922","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
