Full discussion here:    • Video   Arnold Karl Franz Gehlen (born 1904 in Leipzig; died 1976 in Hamburg) was a German philosopher, anthropologist, and sociologist. Along with Helmuth Plessner and Max Scheler, he is considered one of the leading figures in philosophical anthropology. In the 1960s, he was regarded as a conservative opponent of Theodor W. Adorno. 0:30 "I'd like to see the person who can still be provoked by art!" 3:16 "Look, look, you can join in too!" Art as a game 3:50 "The more expansive a concept becomes, the more empty it becomes!" 4:03 "I can no longer create a meaningful concept with the word 'art'" 4:46 Gehlen to Beuys: "Above all, I don't want to spout empty phrases, Mr. Beuys!" 5:28 Beuys attempts to explain his criteria for art (expanded concept of art - political art) 7:20 Art? Example: Slaughtering a pig 10:02 "I simply consider the assertion that production equals provocation to be wrong!" 10:28 Today's art no longer has an opponent 10:32 "It's difficult to adopt a combative stance, and the opponent is gone!" 12:06 Art no longer has a social function, so politics is being imposed upon it. 12:50 "There is no less suitable instrument for revolution than art!" 13:20 "Please make sure that there are no constant interruptions at the table!"
