Aesthetics.
It is a remarkable fact that until now Marxist aesthetics has scarcely integrated the anthropological
perspective within its reflection on art. Just as its interest in the social dimension has generally
led it to espouse what is basically a sociology of art, the scope of its historical comprehension has
remained within the boundaries of a history of art. While Carl Einstein and Max Raphaël have
indeed made vital contributions, it is Georg Lukács who, in his great Aesthetics of 1963, attempted
a systematic integration of the anthropological dimension in his inquiry into the nature of art. The
aim of the present article is to present and to assess the implications of this major project. |
