Synopses & Reviews
In Soul and Form, Georg Luká cs addresses the breakdown, in modern times, of the aesthetic rules that traditionally gave an appearance of objectivity to works of art and critical judgments, and the rise of a new art committed to a brave, but ultimately self-destructive, aesthetic of the gesture. The collected essays mingle private and public matters, subjective and objective worlds, in an unpredictable, deeply original fashion that reflects the crisis of certainty and the tragic view of life at the book's troubled heart.
