Returning to the Greek understanding of art to rethink its
capacities, Creation and the Function of Art focuses on the
relationship between techne 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 techne 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, techne 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.
