Hume, contemporâneo à arte contemporânea

The aim of these lines is to articulate David Hume’s thinking with contemporary art. The suggestion is that the proximity between skepticism and poetry makes it easier to understand how common objects become works of art, such as boxes of washing powder or simple chairs are made in visual operations of concepts. Contemporary art would be dependent, in its broad spectrum, on the ability to perceive as a skeptic. For Hume, time is not extemporaneous with human nature, but contemporary. The works of art are not anachronistic, but are in a horizontal relationship, they are taken as contemporary with each other, because they are related at the same time.
