Une esthétique du « désart

The revival in the contemporary philosophical inquiry on art is characterised by a concentration on the aesthetic dimension (judgements of taste, reception), exclusive of other dimensions. The effect of this is to subordinate art to aesthetics, establishing aesthetics as the sole mode through which art is conceptually addressed. To counter such a reduction, the article returns to the question formulated by Lukács – works of art exist, how are they possible? The article briefly outlines a number of possible developments leading on from this question, in particular the question of the immanent and reciprocal dialectic linking the aesthetic to the artistic, and the profound changes which have occurred in the field of art and in its various practices – including aesthetics- during the twentieth century
