ABSTRACT

The paper explores Markus Gabriel’s New Realism and the Ontology of the Fields of Sense (SFO), focusing on the rejection of a metaphysical concept of “world” and perception as a relationship between subject and object in the field of reality. Gabriel’s SFO views existence as “appearing in a field of sense,” emphasizing background and context. This ontological relationalism connects to ontological descriptivism, and suggests that everything is individualized by its appearance in a specific field of sense. The structure of appearing applies not only to physical objects but also to non-physical entities such as norms and fictional events. The senses directly grasp reality in the sense field, overcoming the limitations of formalist theories of artistic autonomy. Unlike object-oriented ontology (OOO), which separates art from sense fields for autonomy, SFO argues that art’s power lies in combining sense fields, making it autonomous from the creator and viewer. Art’s autonomy is intrinsic, based on transfinite meanings that are not human-created.
