Quotes by Hans Blumenberg (?)

“Tapınakların ihtişamı ve Tanrı tasvirlerinin sanatı, 'humus' tabakasından yukarıya besleyici bir gıda taşıyabilecek olan 'kökler' fikrine izin vermez. Bu gıda tam da binalar üzerine bina, tasvirler üzerine tasvir ederek çekildiği düşünülen sınırların dışında bırakılandır.”

“Light is only seen in what it lets become visible. The "naturalness" of light consists precisely in this, that it only "dawns' in its own sense, with the visibility of things, and thus is itself not of the same nature as that which it evokes.”

“The
natural
striving
for knowledge, as Aristotle formulates
it
at
the beginning
of
the
Metaphysics
moves
in
a
sphere
of
universal
theoretical
brightness
and
visibility
and theoria
represents the comprehension
(via imaginative reenact-
ment)
of
an
absolutely divine act.”
