Abstract

On the basis of a reading of Heidegger’s Der Ursprung des Kunstwerkes, the problematic of understanding the relational concepts of “earth” and “world” is developed. The proposal here is situated from an existential approach that links the earth with the concepts of sublimity and world, understood on the basis of an opening within imagination. To articulate these ideas, this paper fundamentally draws from arguments by Kant, Nancy and Arendt. The proposal here is that Heidegger seeks to explain how the tear caused by the earth in the work of art would sublimate the imagination in an openness towards the world.
