The invention of the central perspective
The architect and sculptor Filippo Brunelleschi, who discovered the laws of central perpective in the early 15th century, is the real inventor of a new radical way of thinking. For tghe first time, geometric laws were used for scientific purposes, according to Leonard Schmeiser in his book: The Invetion of Central Perspective and the Emergence of Modern Science. With central perspective, it was suddenly possible to create spatial depth on a two-dimensional surface that appeared to the viewer as if the space were three-dimensional. The impression is created that the objects depicted in an image behave as they would in reality under viewing conditions. However, it only almost corresponds to the perception of the human eye. The rest is manipulation. Thus, the central perspective hac contributed a lot to the megalomania of the human being. Absurdity means therefore something absurd or nonsensical. This can be an extraordinary, abstruse, logic-defying or strange occurrence or phenomenon, to which the mind of the individual, contrary to its habit, can not give any sense, any meaning. Where does this inability come from to leave things free from sense?
