THE SENSUAL INTELLECT
THE SENSUAL INTELLECT

Summary/Abstract: The Sensual Intellect. In my paper I wish to point out that in the case of works of art the intellect itself is always sensuously organized so we can receive the truth of the work only by the reflection of aesthetic perception. I wish to prove that the picture possesses a particular kind of logic since its delotic logos, that is its nature of showing the thing itself but otherwise in the same time, cannot be grasped conceptually or by language translation. The picture is such a sensual energy, sensual intelligence carrier that reveals only for perception, the seeing view. Therefore in the discourse about understanding art we need to avoid the interpretation of the senses as sheer receptors, since the sight itself always has a meaning generating nature.
