/lit/ - Literature

Welcome back to the conservative reading group. Last time we started "The Origin of the Work of Art", by Martin Heidegger, which we now discuss. I have taken notes, but they are too long to fit in the OP, so I put them in a pastebin: https://pastebin.com/tFYt3mTR

In this work, Heidegger contends that a people [Volk] is defined artistically, and that artworks lose much meaning when taken from the context of their historic people.

The next work we will read is "On the Generative Principle of Political Constitutions", by Joseph de Maistre. I think you will find this ties in well to Heidegger's essay (which might be well called "The Generative Principle of the Work of Art", since he uses "origin" to mean generative Principle). In fact Heidegger mentions in his essay that truth presences itself at the founding of state. Here is a link to Maistre's essay:
