In this third and last lecture on Heidegger's essay, The Origin of the Work of Art, we bring his investigation in aesthetics and metaphysics back now to its starting point, enriched by a number of well-explored concepts and insights.
We pick up by turning now to the nature of creation as Heidegger understands it -- involving his concepts of World and Earth, the strife and the Rift between them, and the thingly aspect out of which the work is in fact created. We also discuss the relationship between creator, artwork, and the preservers (the audience, the appreciators) of the work, and what it means for truth to appear historically.
We end by discussing the paradigmatic status of poetry, and then reflecting upon the problem of artwork -- whether or not art can still open up truth for us in this late modern age.
