In the text which is an exercise in the genealogy of the contemporary I raise the issue of using art as a „model” for the ontology of the world. I look at how art functions in this way within the tradition extending from Immanuel Kant, through German Idealism, Jena Romanticism and Martin Heidegger, to Gilles Deleuze and Jean Luc Nancy. A turning point in this tradition is the shift from conceiving of the work of art and consequently of the world as such in terms of a closed upon itself, „organic” whole, towards treating it as an event and describing in terms of a set of relations, an experiment and a presentation of presentation. This tradition is one of the transformative paths of philosophy, one of the ways which have led us towhere we are „today”.
