DECIR LO INEFABLE

About the relationship between art and science

Author: Carlos Eduardo Maldonado

"This book affirms that, contrary to classical belief, there is no such thing as the ineffable. We can and must say the world, life, nature. Certainly, it is impossible to think outside of language. But, at the same time, it is possible to transform and translate one language into another, and others. Traditionally, the arts and the sciences were separated, even opposed. This reciprocal exclusion was the fundamental error inherited from Plato and Aristotle. The book progresses through three moments: first, an encounter between science and art is possible; second, a dialogue between the two is possible; and finally, there is a union between the two. Only this union transforms them both. The field in which the encounter, the dialogue and the integration can take place is aesthetics. But then a good understanding of aesthetics is necessary. After all, to say the ineffable constitutes a magnificent metamorphosis of knowledge. What art and science are about is not simply types of knowledge, but forms of life. In this way, a metamorphosis of knowledge is a metamorphosis of life itself."
