Opening Gambits: Essays on Art and Philosophy - Softcover
What is the role of art in modern society? And what of philosophy? In Opening Gambits, Mark Kingwell argues that art and philosophy are forms of play, working at the margins of meaning and sense. Written in Kingwell’s typical witty and eloquent style, the book begins with general assessments of the art world and the relationship between art and architecture. In part two, Kingwell reverses the polarity, investigating philosophy as a kind of art form that is constantly questioning its own possibility.
