ABSTRACT

Hisamastu, Shinichi(久松眞一, 1889~1980) once visited Heidegger and conversed on art. This dialogue was made twice, in which two shared an unbridgeable gap which derived from their different worldviews. Although they used the same terms, their ontologies are fundamentally different. Heidegger’s The Origin of Art Works and Hisamastu’s Philosophy of Tea Ceremony show their respective ways to approach art, but the former’s method was based upon the notion of being and the latter the experience of nothingness. Although both of them tried to overcome the Western modernity, their ways are profoundly different, and their understandings on art are different. By comparing these two theories of art, one can sense the rupture and awkwardness in their historical encounters and conversations. It is not an exaggeration that an encounter of different cultures set out from this kind of rupture. By understanding this rupture and awkwardness, one can open a possibility of new dialogue and take upon oneself a task to bridge the gap. This task was the past one between two thinkers, but it is also the task for us, who still live and experience the Western modernity and thus think more sincerely of it.
