註釋
Returning to the Greek understanding of art to rethink its capacities,
Creation and the Function of Art
focuses on the relationship between
techné
and
phusis
(nature). Moving away from the theoretical Platonism which dominates contemporary understandings of art, this book instead reinvigorates Aristotelian causation.
Beginning with the Greek
topos
and turning to insights from philosophy, pure mathematics, psychoanalysis and biology, Jason Tuckwell re-problematises
techné
in functional terms. This book examines the deviations at play within logical forms, the subject, and upon
phusis
to better situate the role of the function in
poiesis
(art). In so doing, Tuckwell argues that art concerns a genuinely creative labour that cannot be resolved via an ontological or epistemological problem, but which instead constitutes an encounter with the problematic. As such,
techné
is shown to be a property of the living, of intelligence coupled to action, that not only enacts
poiesis
or art, but indicates a broader role for creative deviation in nature.
