Die Kunst und der Raum bei Heidegger und Merleau-Ponty

Art and Space: Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty Although Heidegger’s and Merleau-Ponty’s discussion of the problem of art and space leads in part to comparable results, the differences between the two phenomenological approaches should also be pointed out. As such a difference the relationship between the space of art (and craft) and the space of nature is first brought into view – as described by Heidegger in §§ 22 – 24 of Being and Time (1927) and by Merleau-Ponty in §§ 29 – 33 of his second fundamental work Phenomenology of Perception (1945). More concrete studies of space and art can be found in later texts by the two philosophers. For this comparison Merleau-Ponty’s essays “Cézanne’s Doubt” (1945), “Indirect Language and the Voices of Silence” (1952) and in particular “Eye and Mind” (1961) as well as Heidegger’s texts “Building Dwelling Thinking” (1951) “Remarks on Art – Sculpture – Space” (1964, published 1996 in German: “Bemerkungen zu Kunst – Plastik – Raum”) and “Art and Space” (1969) are regarded
