A Commentary on A. Vega’s “Apophatic Aesthetics and Hermeneutics of Mystery”

Abstract

In this commentary four questions are put to Amador Vega; the first is about the difference between Apophatic Aesthetics and hermeneutics of mystery; the second concerns the kind of emotions involved in his Apophatic Aesthetics; the third is whether this kind of approach can be adequate for figurative art; and the last is about the role played by ritual (and repetition) in his religious aesthetics.
