Te Aesthetic Dimension : Between Humanist and Anti-Humanist Aesthetics
Аbstract: The paper examines the relationship and contradictions between humanist and anti-humanist aesthetic conception of the aesthetic dimension. The author intends to indicate and underline the differences between these philosophical perspectives by comparing two divergent theoretical paradigms: one connected to Herbert Marcuse's humanist aesthetic approach and other related to the anti-humanist aesthetics of Jacques Rancière. The focus of the paper is to describe and analyze the issue concerning the abolition of the boundaries between art and life, as one of the avant-garde's crucial maxims, as well as the conditions of the possibility of reaching the Real of the axiom of communis in the present state of affairs. It is argued that the aesthetic dimension of emancipatory art needs to be thought and "grounded" on the certain ethico-aesthetic remainder.
