  • A
  • groundbreaking
  • examination
  • of
  • word
  • and
  • image
  • through
  • the
  • lenses
  • of
  • modern
  • art
  • and
  • Continental
  • philosophy:
  • “Probing
  • and
  • lucid”
  • (Stephen
  • H.
  • Watson,
  • University
  • of
  • Notre
  • Dame).Engagement
  • with
  • the
  • image
  • has
  • played
  • a
  • decisive
  • role
  • in
  • the
  • formulation
  • of
  • the
  • very
  • idea
  • of
  • philosophy
  • since
  • Plato.
  • Identifying
  • pivotal
  • moments
  • in
  • the
  • history
  • of
  • philosophy,
  • Dennis
  • J.
  • Schmidt
  • develops
  • the
  • question
  • of
  • philosophy’s
  • regard
  • of
  • the
  • image
  • by
  • considering
  • painting-where
  • the
  • image
  • most
  • clearly
  • calls
  • attention
  • to
  • itself
  • as
  • an
  • image.Focusing
  • on
  • the
  • philosophies
  • of
  • Martin
  • Heidegger
  • and
  • Hans-Georg
  • Gadamer
  • and
  • the
  • art
  • of
  • Paul
  • Klee,
  • Schmidt
  • pursues
  • larger
  • issues
  • in
  • the
  • relationship
  • between
  • word,
  • image,
  • and
  • truth.
  • As
  • he
  • investigates
  • alternative
  • ways
  • of
  • thinking
  • about
  • truth
  • through
  • word
  • and
  • image,
  • Schmidt
  • shows
  • how
  • the
  • form
  • of
  • art
  • can
  • indeed
  • possess
  • the
  • capacity
  • to
  • change
  • its viewers.
