Abstract

Heidegger believes that with the event of great works of art, a new foundation is established in history. From his point of view, great works of art establish a new relationship between human and being. This new relationship, prepares a new history for society due to the fundamental relationship between being and time. But Heidegger proposes a basic condition for this foundation of history. This condition, which the following paper examines, is the "preservation of the work of art". Based on this condition, there is a two-way relationship between the work of art and the audience as the preserver of the work of art. Both the audience is preserved by the event of the work of art and is placed in an Authenticity state, and the work of art can to have a real effect by the audience's preserve. This condition is in a fundamental connection with Heidegger's definition of human nature as the "shepherd of being". From Heidegger's point of view, the preservation of the work of art takes place when the work of art is allowed to be revealed as it is and survive as it is.
