Recenzii
In this truly groundbreaking endeavor, Wartenberg opens a surprisingly neglected topic to philosophical inquiry. Employing the notion of illustration, Wartenberg eruditely explores the diverse ways in which fine art abets philosophical understanding, including examples of how it can present original philosophical insight. Wartenberg's text is consistently historically informed and generous, contextually illuminating, aesthetically sensitive, and philosophically astute. This pioneering treatise will undoubtedly provide a source for philosophical conversation for years to come.
Wartenberg analyzes a range of examples of illustrations from various time periods and media that present the views of Plato, Aristotle, Hobbes, Rousseau, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Wittgenstein, and others. He argues that illustration can be a genuine artform, that pictures can 'do' philosophy in some ways better than words, and that illustrations can even advance philosophical positions for instance, in certain cases of abstract art and comics. This is a clear, original, erudite, and provocative book, which will interest philosophers, art historians, and other students of intellectual history.
Wartenberg demonstrates that philosophical illustration has a long and fascinating history. He undercuts the common idea that illustration is an inferior artform, showing that illustrations can sometimes be great works of art themselves. This original and lucidly written book will intrigue not only philosophers, but anyone interested in the intersection of art and ideas.
Richly illustrated, chock full of insights, this book exposes the secret life of images in the practice of philosophy. From Plato's diagrams to Mel Bochner's visualizations of Wittgenstein's ideas, to Scott McCloud's comic book presenting a philosophy of comics, Wartenberg brings out how images amplify and enrich philosophical reasoning. A must-read for anyone who cares about philosophy, images, or both.
Thoughtful Images provides something altogether different, a theory of how philosophical theories have been illustrated...Thoughtful Images opens up such debate, presenting challenging issues which will inspire ongoing research...And that is a rare achievement.
In Thoughtful Images, they will find fertile ground for new research.
One cannot overestimate the importance of Wartenberg's crucial project, which beautifully illustrates the role of the visual in the philosophical oeuvre and brings both visual philosophy and philosophical visuality into the wider discourse on aesthetics.... From the perspective of the visual turn of philosophy, Thoughtful Images, which explores the sphere in which philosophy spreads its wings, to be given also through images, is most welcome.
