Art and the Form of Life takes a classic theme-philosophy as the
art of living-and gives it a contemporary twist. The book examines
a series of watershed moments in artistic practice alongside
philosophers' most enduring questions about the way we live.
Coupling Tino Sehgal with Wittgenstein, cave art with Foucault,
Stanley Kubrick with Nietzsche, and the Bauhaus with Walter
Benjamin, the book animates the idea that life is literally ours to
make. It reflects on universal themes that connect the long
histories of art and philosophy, and it does so using a
contemporary approach. Drawing on great philosophical works, it
argues that life practiced as an art form affords an experience of
meaning, in the sense that it is engaging, creative, and
participatory. It thus effects a fundamental renewal of experience.
