Abstract

The following essay aims to show some aspects of the persistence of dualism within contemporary philosophy as a critical perspective of modernity and the difficulties that this represents for an investigation of the image beyond the iconoclastic positions. For this, we will connect with the influence that certain extra philosophical disciplines are having within the most recent interest on the part of some philosophical research centers towards the problematization of the image. We will focus this review on a specific theory developed by a recognized member of the Bildwissenschaft such as Horst Bredekamp, stopping, before, in the radicals questions of W. J. T. Mitchell.
