This book offers a philosophical exploration of lines in art and
culture, and traces their history from Antiquity onwards. Lines can
be physical phenomena, cognitive responses to observed processes,
or both at the same time. Based on this assumption, the book
describes the "philosophy of lines" in art, architecture, and
science. The book compares Western and Eastern traditions. It
examines lines in the works of Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, and
Henri Michaux, as well as in Chinese and Japanese art and
calligraphy. Lines are not merely a matter of aesthetics but also
reflect the psychological states of entire cultures. In the
nineteenth century, non-Euclidean geometry sparked the phenomenon
of the "self-negating line," which influenced modern art; it also
prepared the ground for virtual reality. Straight lines, distorted
lines, blurred lines, hot and cold lines, dynamic lines, lines of
force, virtual lines, and on and on, lines narrate the development
of human civilization.
