On the True Sense of Art

A Critical Companion to the Transfigurements of John Sallis

Edited by Jason M. Wirth, Michael Schwartz, and David Jones

On the True Sense of Art collects essays by philosophers responding to John Sallis’s Transfigurements: On the True Sense of Art as well as his other works on the philosophy of art, including Force of Imagination and Logic of Imagination.
