Abstract

Contemporary philosophical hermeneutics has its roots in the field of aesthetics. Among its authors, Gianni Vattimo is the most radical interpreter of this position. His early book, entitled Art's Claim to Truth, emphasizes this primacy of aesthetics with a particular focus on the artistic practice. The present essay reconstructs Vattimo's reading of early European avantgardes and discusses what Art's Claim to Truth calls the ontological meaning of the artistic revolutions between the 19th and 20th centuries.
