- Abstract:
- Nicholas of Cusa's _De visione Dei sive de Icona_ (1453), in addition to its contribution to the question of the vision of God, engages with numerous debates concerning visibility in general, and thus addresses the dimensions of phenomenality--namely, questions concerning the icon as a type of phenomenon, the reversal of vision into a countervision, the distinction between the object or the nonobject of the seen, and the possibility of seeing the other. Jean-Luc Marion's reading of Cusanus' text examines it in relation to these phenomenological issues, and also examines what it contributes to them.
