ACADEMIC ENGLISH (32) / MANAGING A PROJECT

Light and „the ordinary“, the transcendental and the common, both exist in Vermeer´s art.

This is the essence of this project: to show that in the Western world, in contradiction to some other cultures, a man should not only reach for what is beyond „the ordinary“ but experience both dimensions to feel what living a full life really means.

Or does „the ordinary“ also possess the element of „the transcendental“ and if so, how to grasp it? This project should encourage the individual quest for, indeed, a philosophical answer to this question.
