A.M.:
Liebe Leserinnen und Leser,
heute möchte ich euch meine Erfahrungen mit dem Buch "The Age of Insight: The Quest to Understand the Unconscious in Art, Mind, and Brain, from Vienna 1900 to the Present" von Eric Kandel teilen.
Als ehemalige Psychologie-Studentin bin ich immer auf der Suche nach interessanten Büchern, die sich mit der menschlichen Psyche beschäftigen. Als ich auf "The Age of Insight" gestoßen bin, war ich zunächst skeptisch, da es sich um ein Sachbuch handelt und ich mir nicht sicher war, ob es mich wirklich fesseln würde.
Aber bereits nach den ersten Seiten war ich absolut begeistert! Eric Kandel, ein Neurowissenschaftler und Nobelpreisträger, führt den Leser auf eine faszinierende Reise durch die Kunstgeschichte Wiens und zeigt auf beeindruckende Weise, wie Kunst und Wissenschaft miteinander verbunden sind.
Kandel beschreibt die Entdeckungen und Erkenntnisse der Wiener Schule der Psychoanalyse, insbesondere von Sigmund Freud und Carl Jung, und zeigt auf, wie diese die Kunst und die Kultur beeinflusst haben. Er geht dabei nicht nur auf die Entwicklungen in Wien ein, sondern erweitert den Blick auf die internationale...

Ainda que discorde aqui e ali de Kandel, um reducionista convicto, bastante explícito e aberto quanto à sua opção epistemológica, deve-se louvar sua honestidade intelectual e clareza. Poucos autores, talvez, que eu mesmo conheça, nenhum, se aventurou em tentar unificar os campos diversos da cultura Austríaca dos 1900, de onde o autor provém, arte, literatura, medicina e psicanálise, sem deixar de lado a vanguarda das contribuições da neurociência, campo que lhe deu o Nobel. Já havia lido várias tentativas anteriores, como as de Changeux ou Eccles, mas nenhuma tão aguda e abrangente. Penso que Kandel é o legítimo herdeiro do antigo neurocientista que versava em estilo refinado temas da literatura e filosofia, que me encantou na juventude, Sir Charles Sherrington.

芸術論というと、大抵は歴史や政治といった、多くは人文学的なところで話が展開するものであるが、本書は神経科学というところから切り込み、科学と芸術の統合的考察(neuroaesthetics)を試みる。ウィーンの世紀末（fin-de-siècle Vienna）に活躍した5人のユダヤ系オーストリア人に焦点をあて、科学（特に精神・神経科学）と芸術がどのように影響しあって発展したのかというところから始まる。当時のウィーンのコスモポリタン的な雰囲気の中、科学的思考を背景にして発展した最先端のウィーン医学界からSigmund FreudやArthur Schnitzlerが現れ、個人の内面への関心が、Gustav Klimtと彼に続くOskar Kokoschka, Egon Schielらのウィーン表現主義にみられる人物表現手法へと向かう。
さらに、20世紀以降の神経科学、特に認知科学の知見から「みる」という行為の神経科学的考察、心理学を背景にして視覚芸術の成立のための“beholder’s...

David Keymer:
In this richLY rewarding book, Nobel laureate Eric Kandel (2000 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine) attempts to draw together two widely disparate disciplines, the visual arts and brain science. That he succeeds as well as he does is a tribute to the wide reading he has done -in neuroscience, of course, but also psychology and physiology, philosophy, history and philosophy of art (he doesn't do badly in history either)--and his openness to new ideas.
Using the art world and science world of turn of the century Vienna, and focusing on the three extraordinary artists who among them forged Austrian Expressionism -Gustav Klimt (1862-1918), Oskar Kokoschka (1886-1980), and Egon Schiele (1890-1918) - asks three questions:
*Does art have universal functions and features?
*If so, how are they arrived at and perceived?
*Are our responses to art always personal or are there general biological mechanisms within us that condition them?
Kokoschka called himself a "psychological tin can opener." He wanted to paint his subjects' inner reality. Just as Viennese writer Alfred Schnitzler invented the interior monologue, "stream of consciousness," to...

This is a splendid book both on the workings of the brain and how it can be exemplified in the art of Vienna 1900. This was after all the place and time that led to modernity making Vienna one of the pre-eminent capitals of the world. One is swept up in the feeling of being privy to the birth of the new understanding in medicine and art as it took place in Vienna 1900 in its most intense unfolding and this description is extended to later work, predominantly at US universities, often by people who derived from the Viennese school of thinking through emigration.
The work follows the tradition of the bridge-builders between the seemingly opposed subjects bringing new insights from brain-science in understanding art. It shows, in academic detail, the brain as a network that finds pleasure in the acquisition of knowledge in either field. It is rather comprehensive and learned at that.
The book is cerebral but very readable; in fact I read it in a Marathon session in preparing for a trip to New York to the Golden Adele, this Mona Lisa of the Fin de Siècle. You don't need the trip though; there are wonderful reproductions in the book of interesting work to...
