The Truth of Simulacre: The De-visual Adventure of the Visual Thinking-From Plato to Deleuze

This work is a kind of 'comparative cultural study' which is not yet consequently settled and in this sense should be itself methodologically considered. As a methodological instrument of such kind of study this work proposes a conception of Heidegger, 'iiber (beyond)', which in his usage means 'de-, peri-'. As he marks with this philosophical action the marginal areas of the eXIsting philosophies. so the comparative cultural study must explore with it the dynamically-interwoven space of different cultural areas, in which the different sememes and lexemes are correlated. those of which in this work are 'eye', 'look', 'light' and 'image'. The first part deals with the historical spectrum of the visual thinking from Plato and Cusanus through Descartes to Hegel, which can be formulated as the unfolding process from the metaphysics of light to the metaphysics of eye. That is also the way of the derivative development of the philosophical ideas that has been unapparently accompanied with the main argumentations. The second sheds light on the perceived that has been regarded as the phantasy or the simu/acre, which must have been excluded from the scientific discourse. The reversal of the visual thinking that was foremostly initiated by the German pre-romantic thinker Novalis is achieved through the deconstructively appropriated genetic vision of Derrida and the vision of the invisible power of Deleuze. As a result of that the visual thinking which is fixed on the conceptual authority makes its way to the 'de-visual thinking' that takes notice of the effects which are brought about through the interaction between differences or simulacra.
