THINK ART

Think art! This means first and foremost learning to think adequately – that is, to capture in notions and arguments what is not initially articulated in the form of concepts, but rather in perceptual forms, figures, sounds, rhythms and constellations. Does art think? In contrast, this means asking whether art represents a way of thinking that is distinct from the sciences, whether it possibly generates a different, non-conceptual knowledge. Moreover, if the question of thinking belongs to philosophy, is there perhaps a secret commonality shared between the arts and their sciences, a practice of reflection pursued by both in their own particular ways?

The Denkt Kunst series is dedicated to the cultural-theoretical potential of aesthetic processes in various formats, ranging from lecture texts to monographs and anthologies.
