ABSTRACT

"Der Ursprung des Kunstwerkes"(1936/60, UK) is a work that integrates Heidegger's thoughts about art. Interestingly, Heidegger, citing Hegel's so-called thesis on the past-character of art, says that the decision on the thesis has not yet been made. This article starts with this diagnosis. The paper attempts to show that Heidegger's philosophical reflection on art has a critical and productive dialogue with Hegel's philosophy of art. The first part of this article reconstructs how Hegel disputes common sense notions about art. Then it discusses how this argument is related to the critical reflections on art in the UK. Next, I will consider how Hegel discusses three fundamental facts about the existence of a work of art, and how he dialectically criticizes and integrates contemporary art theories. I will then analyze how Heidegger tries to overcome Hegel’s theoretic reflections based on his thinking of existence and the concept of truth. Heidegger's answer to Hegel's thesis seems obvious. Though not a truth that implies cultural-moral totality of life, art(works) can be philosophically justified and must be seriously guarded as the "unique and original source" of truth-event.
