Wozu Kunst? by Winfried Menninghaus
The book analyzes the function of art and aesthetic experience in contemporary life, arguing that artworks create a special mode of attention and distance that enables emotional processing, cognitive reflection, and perspective-taking; by suspending immediate practical demands, art fosters empathy, critical orientation, and symbolic testing of social norms, resisting purely instrumental or political reduction while helping individuals and communities navigate complexity and meaning.
