约翰·萨利斯（John Sallis）的最新哲学文本灵感来自中国当代画家曹军（Cao Jun）的作品。它通过学习曹军（Cao Jun）的艺术和思想，对自然、艺术和音乐进行了一系列哲学思考，重点关注元素的问题。萨利斯的思考并不是简单地将艺术作品与哲学思想联系起来，因为理论见解和发展贯穿于曹军的作品中，并为他的许多艺术作品提供了信息。萨利斯与中国哲学传统以及西方哲学保持着丰富的联系。在这些关于艺术的思考中，萨利斯对模仿提出了批评，并思考了绘画与音乐的关系。他肯定了自己的信念，即艺术家必须始终转向自然，尤其是当地球和天空上的倒影界定了人类的规模和位置时。全彩色插图增强了这篇挑衅性和穿透性的文章。
Songs of Nature: On Paintings by Cao Jun
This latest philosophical text by John Sallis is inspired by the work of contemporary Chinese painter Cao Jun. It carries out a series of philosophical reflections on nature, art, and music by taking up Cao Jun’s art and thought, with a focus on questions of the elemental. Sallis’s reflections are not a matter of simply relating art works to philosophical thought, as theoretical insights and developments run throughout Cao Jun’s writings and inform many of his artistic works. Sallis maintains abundant points of contact with Chinese philosophical traditions but also with Western philosophy. In these reflections on art, Sallis poses a critique of mimesis and considers the relation of painting to music. He affirms his conviction that the artist must always turn to nature, especially as reflections on the earth and sky delimit the scale and place of what is human. Full-color illustrations enhance this provocative and penetrating text.
