The coexistence of philosophy and art

The book “Artistic Experience in Merleau-Ponty’s Phenomenology” by Nader Shayganfar is a work that, in fidelity to the thought of Maurice Merleau-Ponty—the prominent French phenomenological philosopher—examines the relationship between artistic experience and the horizons of phenomenology. The author shows that Merleau-Ponty does not regard modern art merely as a domain of aesthetics, but rather as a field in which being is disclosed and the relation between consciousness and the world is rethought.
