    DermARTologie/DermARTtology
    Kunst schafft betörende Illusionen für unsere Sinne, die unser Gehirn zu einem erhabenen Glücksgefühl katalysiert. Bei den Gemälden «Grosser Meister» rezipiert der Betrachter das Ganze und übersieht oft Details, die im vorliegenden Buch aus mehreren Tausend Kunstwerken aufgespürt und aus der Perspektive der Dermatologie eingeordnet und vergleichend mit Krankheitsbildern interpretiert werden. Alterungsprozesse, Muttermale, Neubildungen, Veränderungen an Hautanhangsgebilden, Binde- und Fettgewebe, an Gefässen und Nerven stören die Makellosigkeit des Inkarnats und wurden daher -wenn überhaupt- meist unbewusst ohne medizinische Sachkenntnis vom Künstler in der zweidimensionalen Form eines Portraits dargestellt.Hingegen werden bei den dreidimensionalen dermatologischen Wachsmoulagen die krankhaften Veränderungen an der Haut in bester akademischer Absicht bewusst möglichst naturgetreu und wirklichkeitsnah abgebildet.Der Versuch einer Erkundung von Parallelen zwischen Hautdarstellungen einst und heute zeigt, dass sich am Perfektionswahn und dem Streben nach Makellosigkeit des Inkarnates damals wie heute nichts geändert hat und die wirklichkeitsgetreue Darstellung häufig dem vermeintlichen Schönheitsideal geopfert und alles Krankhafte oder Anormale verdeckt wird.Art creates beguiling illusions for our senses, which catalyzes our brain into a sublime feeling of happiness. In the paintings of "Great Masters", the viewer admires the whole painting and often overlooks details that are tracked down in the present book from several thousand works of art, classified from the perspective of dermatology and interpreted comparatively with clinical pictures. Aging processes, moles, neoplasms, changes in skin appendages, connective and fatty tissue, vessels and nerves disturb the flawlessness of the incarnate and were therefore - if at all - usually unconsciously depicted by the artist in the two-dimensional form of a portrait without medical expertise.On the other hand, in the three-dimensional dermatological wax moulages, the pathological changes of the skin are deliberately depicted as realistically as possible with the best academic intentions.The attempt to explore parallels between skin representations then and now shows that nothing has changed in the perfection mania and the striving for flawlessness of the incarnate then as now and that the realistic representation is often sacrificed to the supposed ideal of beauty and everything pathological or abnormal is concealed.

    Metazoa (eBook, ePUB)
    "Enthralling . . . breathtaking . . . Metazoa brings an extraordinary and astute look at our own mind's essential link to the animal world." -The New York Times Book Review (Editors' Choice)"A great book . . . [Godfrey-Smith is] brilliant at describing just what he sees, the patterns of behaviour of the animals he observes." -Nigel Warburton, Five BooksThe scuba-diving philosopher who wrote Other Minds explores the origins of animal consciousnessDip below the ocean's surface and you are soon confronted by forms of life that could not seem more foreign to our own: sea sponges, soft corals, and serpulid worms, whose rooted bodies, intricate geometry, and flower-like appendages are more reminiscent of plant life or even architecture than anything recognizably animal. Yet these creatures are our cousins. As fellow members of the animal kingdom-the Metazoa-they can teach us much about the evolutionary origins of not only our bodies, but also our minds.In his acclaimed 2016 book, Other Minds, the philosopher and scuba diver Peter Godfrey-Smith explored the mind of the octopus-the closest thing to an intelligent alien on Earth. In Metazoa, Godfrey-Smith expands his inquiry to animals at large, investigating the evolution of subjective experience with the assistance of far-flung species. As he delves into what it feels like to perceive and interact with the world as other life-forms do, Godfrey-Smith shows that the appearance of the animal body well over half a billion years ago was a profound innovation that set life upon a new path. In accessible, riveting prose, he charts the ways that subsequent evolutionary developments-eyes that track, for example, and bodies that move through and manipulate the environment-shaped the subjective lives of animals. Following the evolutionary paths of a glass sponge, soft coral, banded shrimp, octopus, and fish, then moving onto land and the world of insects, birds, and primates like ourselves, Metazoa gathers their stories together in a way that bridges the gap between mind and matter, addressing one of the most vexing philosophical problems: that of consciousness.Combining vivid animal encounters with philosophical reflections and the latest news from biology, Metazoa reveals that even in our high-tech, AI-driven times, there is no understanding our minds without understanding nerves, muscles, and active bodies. The story that results is as rich and vibrant as life itself.
