It is unfashionable to talk about artistic truth. Yet the issues
traditionally addressed under that term have not disappeared.
Indeed, questions concerning the role of the artist in society, the
relationship between art and knowledge, and the validity of
cultural interpretation have intensified. Lambert Zuidervaart
challenges current intellectual fashions by proposing a new
hermeneutic theory of artistic truth that engages with both
analytic and continental philosophies and illuminates the
contemporary cultural scene. People turn to the arts as a way of
finding orientation in their lives, communities and institutions.
However, as the author shows, philosophers, hamstrung by their own
theories of truth, have been unsuccessful in accounting for this
common feature in our lives. This book portrays artistic truth as a
process of imaginative disclosure in which expectations of
authenticity, significance and integrity prevail. Understood in
this way, truth becomes central to the aesthetic and social value
of the arts.
