THE ROLE OF ART IN J.-L. MARION’S PHENOMENOLOGY OF GIVENNESS

Abstract

This article aims to investigate the role of art in Jean-Luc Marion’s phenomenology of givenness and its relationship with hermeneutics. Painting plays a fundamental role because it constitutes the “model” that facilitates understanding the radically passive character of the hermeneutic management of the gap between what gives itself and what shows itself.
