At the crossroads of science, art, and philosophy, it unearths a tradition that we must rediscover: the point of view is not only what divides, it is also what is shared.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday, perspective is associated with individualism and personal viewpoints. But in an age of post-truth, the only robust answer to relativism lies in fact in a reappraisal of perspectivism. In discussion with contemporary new realisms of various sorts, this book makes a case why perspectivism alone can avoid us falling back into epistemological naivet�s. A journey into the history of optics, art, philosophy, and social psychology, this book unearths the forgotten tradition of \u003ci\u003eperspectiva communis\u003c\/i\u003e, which makes perspective the vector of a common horizon. This book argues that vision is never immediate. Rather, to see \u003ci\u003ethrough\u003c\/i\u003e is the key to understanding the perspectival operation. We never see by ourselves--all seeing must pass through something other than itself, through the mediation and the detour of an apparatus or the witness of a third party. Besides the theoretical framework for this new approach to perspective, this book presents a series of case studies ranging from innovative interpretations of classical authors and key moments in the history of art--from ancient painting, trompe l'oeil, and Brunelleschi's experiment in Renaissance Florence--to the issue of perspective in the work of contemporary artists such as Robert Smithson.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Share of Perspective \u003c\/i\u003ewill be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in aesthetics, phenomenology, art history, and the history of sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46931051085975,"sku":"9781032739199","price":3818.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781032739199.webp?v=1771610746","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-share-of-perspective-9781032739199","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
