What do Pascal and La Tour's painting have in common? The theology of Thomas Aquinas and the frescoes of Fra Angelico? Schelling's philosophy and Liszt's music? Diderot's thought and Fragonard's canvases, or Maldiney's phenomenology and Giacometti's sculptures? What if works of art and philosophical works, in their ways of being in the world, wove profound correspondences, often even without their creator's knowledge? This is the thesis of Philippe Grosos, who revisits here the great works of human thought and the most beautiful productions of art to reveal their most intimate links and shared intuitions. Such correspondences, which seek to highlight common gestures in the development of their works, then suppose that what we call aesthetics has much more to do with existence than with the work of art or the judgment of taste alone. Professor of philosophy at the University of Poitiers, Philippe Grosos published Phénoménologie de l'intotalisable with Éditions du Cerf, for which he received the 2015 Mercier Prize.
