European aesthetic thinking and artistic creation: sources, metamorphoses and their relevance
The intellectual and mental cohesion of European intellectuals, thinkers, researchers and artists winding through the cultural history of humanity has helped to form what we today label as the 鈥淲estern鈥� tradition in thought, the arts and culture. This is expressed by a certain measure of consistency, which was, especially for the first two millennia, a synonym of European thinking and education. With the discovery of the new world, the awareness of humanity expands also to America, and with the regrouping of intellectuals 鈥淲estern鈥� considerations, culture and art divide into the new intellectual traditions and coordinates. It is more boldly crystallized in the American and continental branch, since nearly the whole previous century we end up in a situation where American philosophy and aesthetics and non-European art obtain more and more dominance as inspiration or an independent object of research. The other decades of this and the past millennium in the end signal an imaginary regression of the significance of European thinking in global discourse and leave 鈥渞ealization fields鈥� to so-called Eastern, that is 鈥渘on-Western鈥�, thought.
The aim of the third year of the conference Coordinates of aesthetics, art and culture is in the scope of the subject European aesthetic thought and artistic creation: sources, metamorphoses and their relevance to identify the particularities of European thinking, art, culture and discourse on it in the past and present form or in another perspective. The starting point of a so conceived thematic focus is the assumption that European culture as a whole, but also its individual national components, brings a special approach to the study of artistic phenomena and aesthetic facts. The focus of the third year is a return to the foundations of the aesthetics, art and culture, on which contemporary art and thinking builds and which document the individuality of European thinkers or artists. The ambitious intellectual content and discussion forum of the conference is to verify or possibly redefine the importance and continuity of the tradition of European thought, to name the singularity and originality and its standing in the coordinates of contemporary aesthetic and artistic creation.
