The Bringing-Forth of the Truth into the Beautiful

Against the battle for nonautonomous art of Schmitt and the Futurists, parrhesia and its centrality in both politics and art is upheld by Heidegger, Marcuse, Foucault, Rancière, and Virilio. For the latter five philosophers, the abandonment of art's independence to political, moral, religious, or any kind of instructional purpose consequently abandons its potential as a means of parrhesia, and then can only contribute to mass depoliticization. Music: "Negativ nein" by Einsturzende Neubauten and "String Quartet in G Minor" by Edvard Grieg. Clips: A squat in Berlin, a 2008 Nuit Blanche installation, an anamorphic painting in Rouen, a fire in Kehl, and Raphael's "School of Athens"
