Peg Rawes examines a "minor tradition" of aesthetic geometries in
ontological philosophy. Developed through Kant's aesthetic subject
she explores a trajectory of geometric thinking and geometric
figurations--reflective subjects, folds, passages, plenums,
envelopes and horizons--in ancient Greek, post-Cartesian and
twentieth-century Continental philosophies, through which
productive understandings of space and embodies subjectivities are
constructed.
Six chapters, explore the construction of these aesthetic geometric
methods and figures in a series of "geometric" texts by Kant,
Plato, Proclus, Spinoza, Leibniz, Bergson, Husserl and Deleuze. In
each text, geometry is expressed as a uniquely embodies "aesthetic"
activity because each respective geometric method and figure is
imbued with aesthetic "sensibility" and geometric "sense" (rather
than as disembodies scientific methods). An ontology of aesthetic
geometric methods and figures is therefore traced from Kant's
Critical writings, back to Plato and Proclus Greek philosophy,
Spinoza and Leibniz's post-Cartesian philosophies, and forwards to
Bergson's "duration" and Husserl's "horizons" towards Deleuze's
philosophy of sense.
