PHILOSOPHICAL CONSTANTS IN ART: FROM METHODOLOGY TO AESTHETIC PRACTICE
Rubrics: AESTHETICS
Abstract and keywords
Abstract:
The article examines the role of philosophical constants, or the main questions of philosophy, in art and proves that painting is not just an illustration of ideas, but an active interpreter and co-author of meaning. Based on the concepts of Hegel, Cassirer, Panofsky, and Merleau-Ponty, the article traces the evolution of constants in painting towards the mutual generation of meanings. The article concludes that the embodiment of philosophical concepts in artistic images opens up new horizons for humanities research, which is particularly relevant in the era of postmodernism and digital technologies.

Keywords:
art, "non-philosophical philosophy", the truth of being, postmodernism, hermeneutics, methodology
