Aesthetics in russia

looking toward the twenty-first century

Helen Petrovsky Alexandra V. Volodina

pp. 165-179

Abstract

Processes observable in contemporary Russian aesthetics are the result of the transformation of the very notion of aesthetics following the emergence of a number of new "aesthetic" objects as well as ways of describing them. The scope of questions studied by aesthetics in its broader interpretation concerns not just professional philosophers in academic institutions, but also researchers whose works formally belong to different disciplines, some close to, some quite distant from aesthetics. The present article offers an overview of contemporary aesthetic theory as well as a general prognostic analysis of the latest trends in this field.
