Ce troisieme volet clot la reflexion entamee avec L’Inexpressif musical et poursuivie dans Voir et entendre, sur la notion d’expression en art.
This third volume extends the critique of expressivity to the concept of appearance, art in general, politics and philosophy. The book begins with a prologue in which the author shows that the search-stemming from the Judaeo-Christian hermeneutic tradition-for a hidden and mysterious meaning of reality conflicts with the Greek view, according to which reality in itself already constitutes its own meaning. That is what the term “appearance” refers to. The first chapter raises the issue of critique of expressivity in art, taken as a means of communication as much as a dissimulation of meaning. The second chapter is a critique of politics and morality derived from the expressionist perspective. The last chapter delves into the philosophical forms which seem to be anchored in the concept of expression, and contrasts each form with an outline of the philosophy of appearances.

- By (author) Santiago Espinosa
"Dans le Traite des apparences, Santiago Espinosa prend le parti de Balthasar Gracian : Ce qui ne se percoit pas n'existe pas . Il perce toutes les dangereuses illusions auxquelles conduisent les pensees qui, postulant un arriere-monde, aboutissent a ce qu'on ferme les yeux sur le monde reel."
