Concluding reflections

Heidegger, art, architecture, ethics

Anthony Lack

pp. 101-103

Abstrakt

In what sense can art and architecture be ethical? There are many ways to conceive of the ethical function of the arts, ranging from overt didacticism in works attempting to "teach a lesson" to the shock value in work hoping to unsettle, generating critical thinking and reflection. Yet, there is another way. To re-enchant the world is to find ways to re-embed Dasein in a spatiocultural environment, which might generate an implicit awareness of our relationship to the world around us, to its beauty, its significance, and its vulnerability. Therefore, when I speak of ethics, it should be clear that I am speaking of rekindling a particular type of ethical situatedness and art and architecture can play central roles in this process.
