هایدگر و راز هنر بزرگ: جست‌وجویی برای حقیقت در جهانی بی‌قرار

Martin Heidegger, the 20th-century German philosopher, despite his initial support for the Nazi Party, eventually distanced himself from it and became critical of its ideology. He held unique views on art, believing that authentic art has the power to reveal truth—not merely to represent reality, but to serve as a means of unveiling hidden dimensions of existence. In Heidegger’s perspective, art should be capable of fostering critical thinking and moral awareness. He maintained that during times when art is reduced to a tool for political propaganda, it can contribute to the spread of harmful and destructive ideologies. Although Heidegger joined the Nazi Party early on, he ultimately turned away from it and remained committed to his philosophical principles. The importance of art education in cultivating critical thinking and social awareness is also emphasized in this text. Art education can help future generations use art as a means to promote human values, diversity, and respect for differences, and to prevent it from becoming a vehicle for dangerous ideologies.
