Da presença de Schelling na estética ontológica de Mikel Dufrenne

This paper intends to discuss how Schelling’s notion of Nature influences Dufrenne’s aesthetic thought. A key yet controversial influence, as it impacts the perception-limit it heralds: of oneness, whereupon subject and object intertwine in an a priori correlation. Such prodigality of Nature is evident both in this symbiosis and especially in the overf lowing emergence of a brute/wild undercurrent – embryonic yet overt – as a path towards a poietic causality, prone to ontological and metaphysical interpretation. A pursuable matrix thus arises, which can be tapped by the aesthetic-artistic scope of existence. Hence its critical interest.
