The Eastern Philosophical Influence on a Modern Artist

Abstract: This 5 page paper was written in order to express the influences of eastern philosophies on a student artist. The artist uses natural materials that decay over time, and as such the ideas of philosophers such as Dogan and Keiji Nishitani as well as philosophies such as those in Taoism and Zen Buddhism are all discussed in relationship to the impermanence of objects and time, and how they may be used by this individual artist. Other philosophers such as Kant and Heidegger are also used to demonstrate ideas of relativism and impermanence as well as the use of the senses. The bibliography cites 5 sources.
