Phenomenological Question About the Religious Dimension of the Essence of Art. Considerations Inspired by the thought of Heidegger, Duméry, von Balthasar and Henry

Summary/Abstract: Phenomenological reflection on the essence of art goes towards the revelation of its ultimateSource, which is also the Source of spirituality of a man and, finally, of artistic works. Artoccupies a prominent place in the works of Martin Heidegger, Hans Urs von Balthasar andMichel Henry, and what they have in common is pointing out the ability of transcendingartistic work towards beyond-aesthetic and over-aesthetic dimensions. For those philosophers the work of art is a ‘way’ which may lead human spirit towards Transcendence (theAbsolute, God), but also towards the inner self. In this article the reflection over a religiousdimension of the essence of art is extended by the analysis of St John Passion, BWV 245by Johann Sebastian Bach, as a particular example of an artistic realization of phenomenologically rooted philosophical and theological reflection.
