The aesthetic import of the act of knowledge and its European roots in Merab Mamardašvili
Elisa Pontini
pp. 161-178
What Mamardašvili meant by "process of knowledge" is not an all-embracing vision of reality accomplished "once-and-for-all"; it is not a step by step procedure of deduction; rather it is an anti-dialectical reconstruction of a constellation of signs put together over and over again by the subject by an act of non-premeditated genius. It is a kind of aesthetic act that makes the sense appear, like a vertical cut in the sequential line of space and time.
