About the book >.>.> This book the first comprehensive study in English of Heidegger’s phi-losophy of art starts in the mid-1930s with Heidegger’s discussion of the Greek temple and his Hegelian declaration that a great artwork gathers together an entire culture in affirmative celebration of its foundational ‘truth’ and that by this criterion art in modernity is ‘dead’. His subse-quent work on H?lderlin whom he later identified as the decisive influ-ence on his mature philosophy led him into a passionate engagement with the art of Rilke C?zanne Klee and Zen Buddhism liberating him not only from the overly restrictive conception of art of the mid-1930s but also from the disastrous politics of the period. Drawing on material hith-erto unknown in the anglophone world. Young establishes a new account of Heidegger’s philosophy of art and shows that his famous essay ‘The Origin of the Work of Art’ is its beginning not its end. (LL)
