Heidegger on Chillida and Space
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ต.ค. 2024
- In this video I engage with Heidegger's short but seminal text on the sculptor Eduardo Chillida. Heidegger thought that Chillida's artworks showed that space is not exhausted by the scientific explanation of modernity. For Chillida, and for Heidegger, place comes before space.

Hi Johannes, thanks for introducing me to someone else - Chilida - who I had not heard of before. I was surprised to hear that Heidegger enjoyed abstract art, from what little I know I would have expected him to be much more conservative in his tastes. Yet in light of his thinking on space and time it makes sense. Great enunciation by the way.
James Simpkin thank you, James! Heidegger is a modern thinker. More modern, perhaps, than others and thus already going beyond this epoch
@@JohannesNiederhauser He masterfully disguised 🥸 his radical modernity and in a way I think he enjoyed being misinterpreted by lesser thinkers following him because as he said “to become Intelligible is suicide for philosophy” and we may safely assume he considered himself THE philosopher par excellence of his epoch. This introduction to Chilida a d his thought on him reminded dad me of his encounter with the Kyoto school of philosophy. Heideggers influence on architecture and art has been occulted hidden and disguised as vastly deconstructionism by academia that cannot get past his personal foibles. It’s a shame he was a genius . Have a good day and thank you . Dasein ich bin Gestell … that’s my take on it but I’m not a native German speaker
@@Ykpaina988 yes, being/life not meant to be 'intelligible', meant to be lived/experienced
our interaction with place, place-making, and clearing ... and too often our makings/constructions on earth reflect our own ignorance and hedonism and chaos ... but in Chillida creation of place is not specifically symbolic or a specifically something. i want to use the word gesture, but i think that might confuse it and make it too concrete/intentional/directed, not sure. something of an openness acknowledging possibility
Chillida somehow found inspiration-some say that copied-in the work of Oteiza. This one kept also an special relationship with the Magus of Todtnaubergh. Regards
Thank you
I don't think "extension" has necessarily to be associated with "measurment", in the sense "measurment" is understand by modern physics. I think extension can be understood simply as a manifestation of the possibilities inside one space. I think plato's conception of space expressed in "timeus" is fundamental for every authentic understanding of space. My experience of space, connected to plato's idea, is in the experience of painting. Space is a feminine principle, like a womb, line is the masculine principle, which penetrates all the space, like a ray of light. The union of space and line produce the "son", which is the form expressed in space. Maybe is a naivee idea, but this is my understanding. (ps: if I pay you can I receive an answer to my other comment?? thank you for your pretious time!! hope I didn't wasted it!!)
Sacred Geometry Music thanks for your comment. There are often many so I can’t respond to all of them.
I’m not sure what exactly the question is here. Heidegger critiques what he thinks is a specific modern and abstract understanding of space, where space is defined as a logical abstract subject that allows to measure bodies as “determined quantities of extension” as newton writes.
@@JohannesNiederhauser in this case my comment isn't a question, is just an expression of my thought about space. My question is in the video about technology with taggart
@@JohannesNiederhauser in any case, I think that to understand heidegger's view on space is necessary to understand buddist's teachings of void and taoist teaching of emptiness
@@sacredgeometrymusic3290 there is certainly a similarity. There is a video of Heidegger with a Buddhist monk, which you can find here on youtube. There is also a dialogue he published between him and a Japanese scholar.
@@JohannesNiederhauser I think you can say they are the same!! the way they express themselves are different but the meaning is the same!! every form is a form of thought, every form is empty, therefore thought is emptiness!! schopenauer was more explicit about the influence of eastern thought, but I think we can't deny the impression taoism and buddism had on heidegger!! or maybe he simply studied a lot of meister eckart, which has also a very buddist-like approach.
wonderful! I sent you a message on Instagram . Please check
