Importance of Art in Authenticating Dasein

This book is an attempt to establish a relationship
between Heidegger s thought on authenticity and art,
and to show the role of art in authentic being of
Dasein. Dasein s being authentic depends on Dasein s
revealing of itself as itself. In
this respect art plays an important role in revealing
Dasein as itself. Thus, the relation
between art and authenticity can be based on alethia
which is the revealing of being
as itself.
At the same time art plays an important role in
authenticating Dasein by its
world-disclosing feature as it allows Dasein s own
world to reveal itself in its own
way.
