[ebooks] Street Furniture Design: Contesting Modernism in Post-War Britain by Eleanor Herring at Arts-Photography

Description

A collaborative undertaking between an artist and a philosopher; this monograph attempts to deepen our understanding of contemplative seeing by addressing the works of Plato; Thoreau; Heidegger; and more. The authors explore what it means to see reality and contemplate how viewing reality philosophically and artfully is a form of spirituality. In this way; by developing a new conception of active visual engagement; the authors propose a way of seeing that unites both critical scrutiny and spiritual involvement; as opposed to simple passive reception.
