This project considers the relationship between truth and art by turning to the work of twentieth-century European thinkers, who---in the midst of an ever-increasing technological society and culture, and the rising dominance of quantifiable data as the basis for answering society's most pressing crises---repeatedly turned to literature and art in their search for truth. Starting with an analysis of three specific works, Martin Heidegger's Holderlin's Hymn "The Ister" [Holderlins Hymne "Der Ister"], Jacques Derrida's The Truth in Painting [La verite en peinture ], and Theodor W. Adorno's Alban Berg: Master of the Smallest Transition [Berg: der Meister des kleinsten Ubergangs ], the study explores the nature of truth claims based on these philosophical engagements with poetry, painting, and music, tracing the warning that emerges in these texts, and throughout the work of these three thinkers, concerning the danger of valuing calculable scientific truth over the truth revealed through the interpretation of art. The study analyzes the ways in which the work of these three thinkers speaks to the legacy of incalculability that runs throughout the history of aesthetic theory, and how their contributions attempt to rescue the epistemological force of art by responding to what they consider to be one of our most urgent political and philosophical crises: the danger of equating fact with truth in an over-calculating modernity.
