  • On Voice, Song, and Imagination

    John SallisARTICLEResearch in Phenomenology2026

    The relation between voice, song and imagination is at the heart of the work of many composers. This essay examines this relation by stipulating first that the voice is a way in which one is given an awareness of oneself. Subsequently, it is shown how this form of self-awareness reaches a higher degree through the voices resounding in music and finds its most sublime form when it is transformed into song. Therefore, the work of composers, as is i…

  • Elementality and the Politics of Light

    Open AccessJohn SallisARTICLEOxford Literary Review2024

    The essay begins by recalling the words of Homer that to live is to behold the light of the sun. For it is the ‘elementals’ of sky, sun, and light that give all things to mortal beings, including time itself, beginning with the daily alternation between day and night. But contemporary commercial and scientific projects threaten to change all this. Whether it be through the launching of tens of thousands of communication satellites to fill the nig…

  • Frames

    John SallisARTICLEComparative and Continental…2020

    This essay explores the ways in which frames allow what lies within them to shine forth with exceptional brilliance. It deals, first of all, with the frames of paintings but then is devoted primarily to the kinds of frames that can enclose discourse. Detailed attention is given to the framing constituted by multiple, telescoping reports of a conversation or event. Such framing as it occurs in several Platonic dialogues is investigated in detail. …

  • Logik der Imagination

    John Sallis, Tobias KeilingBOOKLogik der Imagination2019

    Nach der Phänomenologie von Einbildungskraft (2010) legt John Sallis eine Logik der Imagination vor. Sallis stellt sich in die Tradition Hegels, Husserls und Heideggers, wenn er versucht, den Anspruch der Logik über den Bereich der Sprache zu erweitern. Wenn wir in der Einbildungskraft aber auch Widersprüche erfahren, muss eine Logik der Imagination auch diesen gerecht werden. Nicht nur die Logik des Traums, auch die Tiefe des Erinnerns und die U…

    Dieses Jahrbuch repräsentiert eine Hauptströmung der gegenwärtigen Philosophie mit ihren Entsprechungen in den Wissenschaften. Die philosophische Beschäftigung mit der Hermeneutik ist längst über die Frage nach der Textauslegung und der Methode in den Geisteswissenschaften hinausgelangt. Die Geschichtlichkeit und Interpretationsgebundenheit des Denkens wird nicht mehr nur als das spezielle Problem eines bestimmten Zweigs der Wissenschaft gesehen,…

    John Sallis, Daniela Vallega-Neu et al.BOOKEinbildungskraft2010

    John Sallis untersucht den Kerngedanken der Einbildungskraft und zeigt, daß deren Kraft auf alle Bereiche des menschlichen Lebens Einfluß hat. Aus dem Blickwinkel der gegenwärtigen Dekonstuktion des klassischen Gegensatzes zwischen der intelligiblen und der sinnlichen Wirklichkeit setzt er sich kritisch mit der gesamten Geschichte der Philosophie auseinander. Dadurch, daß er das Wesen der Einbildungskraft hinterfragt, wendet sich seine Untersuchu…

  • Transfigurements

    John SallisBOOKTransfigurements2008

    Transfigurements develops a framework for thinking about art through innovative readings of some of the most important philosophical writing on the subject by Kant, Hegel, and Heidegger. Sallis exposes new layers in these texts and theories while also marking their limits. By doing so, his aim is to show that philosophy needs to attend to art directly. Consequently, Sallis also addresses a wide range of works of art, including paintings by Raphae…

  • The Verge of Philosophy

    John SallisBOOKVerge of Philosophy2007

    Verge of Philosophy is both an exploration of the limits of philosophy and a memorial for John Sallis' longtime friend and interlocutor Jacques Derrida. The centerpiece of the book is an extended examination of three sites in Derrida's thought: his interpretation of Heidegger regarding the privileging of the question; his account of the Platonic figure of the good; and his interpretation of Plato's discourse on the crucial notion of the chora, th…

    Reprenant le contenu de sa derniere conversation avec R. Schurmann portant sur le platonisme et la limitation de la metaphysique du meme par l'alterite de la chora, l'A. etudie le theme de l'espacement de l'autre dans l'henologie de Plotin et dans la pensee de la difference ontologique de Heidegger. Se referant a l'ouvrage de Schurmann intitule «Les Hegemonies brisees» (1987), l'A. etudie le moyen de desencadrer la singularite de l'un de la metap…

  • Crossings

    John P Mccarthy, John Mccarthy et al.ARTICLEJournal of Aesthetics and Art…1992

    Boldly contesting recent scholarship, argues that The Birth of Tragedy is a rethinking of art at the limit of metaphysics. His close reading focuses on the complexity of the Apollinian/Dionysian dyad and on the crossing of these basic art impulses in tragedy. Sallis effectively calls into question some commonly accepted and simplistic ideas about Nietzsche's early thinking and its debt to Schopenhauer, and proposes alternatives that are worth con…
