This book offers an original and thought-provoking exploration of a diverse range of contemporary artistic practices, set within a broader cultural context. It argues that art can teach us about the human condition and our way of co-inhabiting the world, in a unique interplay between reason and imagination, creation and contemplation, poetry and inquiry.
