Painter, sculptor, writer, film-maker, and all-round showman Salvador Dali (1904 - 1989) was one of the twentieth century’s greatest exhibitionists and eccentrics. One of the first artists to apply the insights of Freudian psychoanalysis to art, he is celebrated in particular for his surrealist practice, with such conceits as the soft watches or the lobster telephone, now hallmarks of the surrealist enterprise, and of modernism in general. Dali frequently described his paintings as "hand-painted dream photographs". Their tantalizing tension and interest resides in the precise rendering of bizarre elements and ... |

At the age of six, Salvador Dali (1904 - 1989) wanted to be a cook. At the age of seven, he wanted to be Napoleon. "Since then", he later said, "my ambition has steadily grown, and my megalomania with it. Now I want only to be Salvador Dali, I have no greater wish". Throughout his life, Dali was out to become Dali: that is, one of the most significant artists and eccentrics of the 20th century. This weighty volume is the most complete study of Dali's painted works ever published. After years of research, Robert Descharnes and Gilles Neret located painted works by the master that had been ... |

Въпросът за света е неотделим от въпроса за свободата: това е началното твърдение на тази книга. Светът е невъзможен другояче освен като свобода. Ако трансценденталната философия на Имануел Кант се превръща в необходим крайъгълен камък за една нова онтология - за една онтология на свободата, то това е именно защото утвърждаването на неотделимостта на свят и свобода е неин решаващ залог. Същевременно, ако Кантовият критически проект е революционен, то това е поради неговия иманентен характер: Кантовата критика на разума е критика, осъществена от самия разум. Връщайки философията към собственото ѝ условие, ... |
