| Summary: | Approaching this kind of subject implies an exigency of understanding that aims at the conditions of possibility of the status of the modern person. Starting with the European Illuminist Age, this is represented by the acknowledgment of the other as a person, based on a certain rational conditioning of the community. One should not confine religion to a black-hole, by separating it from the political, but should rather try to see the middle-way between the radical solution of atheism, on the one hand, and the legitimating of a political religion, on the other. The second part of this essay is an analysis of the double modern conditioning of art (understood as the expression of the creative faculty): first, of the political aspect of the Modern Age; secondly, of the religious problems connected to politics. Seen as a whole, this area of artistic production implies two types of fundamental relationships: 1) an analysis of art as the expression of the self and of its status in the world; 2) a direct connection between art and the social and political aspects of the contemporary age. |
