Exploring the philosophical significance of lines, this book traces their evolution from Antiquity through various cultural lenses, including art, architecture, and science. It contrasts Western and Eastern traditions, analyzing the works of artists like Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky alongside Chinese and Japanese calligraphy. Lines are portrayed as reflections of cultural psychology, influenced by developments like non-Euclidean geometry, which paved the way for modern art and virtual reality. The narrative emphasizes lines as a fundamental aspect of human civilization's progression.
