Preview Hand to Hand: Listening to the Work of Art (Perspectives in Continental Philosophy, 32)

Description:
A leading philosopher and theologian, Jean-Louis Chrtien uses poetry and painting to explore a theme that runs through all of his work: how human life is shaped by the experience of call and response. For Chrtien, we live by responding to the call of experience with words, gestures, expressions, and silence. In luminous meditations on Rembrandt, Delacroix, Manet, Verlaine, Keats, and other artists, Chrtien shows how talking hands of paintersand the secretly lucidvoices of poets confront the finitude of the human body. Hand to Hand is a deeply cultured renewal of art in all its provocative, transforming, spiritual presence.
