Journal Title: Δόξα / Докса. Збірник наукових праць з філософії та філології - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue
Abstract
The article contains a critical analysis of the consideration of questions of spirituality with contemporary art. The article touches upon the destiny of humanitaristics in the modern world, the transformation of technological civilization and the role of contemporary art in these processes. The subjects of analysis are the statements of artists, their theoretical constructions. Spirituality does not belong to the list of topics that have remained in the metaphysical past. Spirituality is a synthetic concept, all-encompassing, oriented towards the consideration of human life and processes taking place in the sociocultural sphere from the point of view of their integrity and teleological orientation. Modern and contemporary art considers the creative potential of culture in the construction of new social forms of life. Spirituality is a sign of the maturity of an individual who has transcended his narrow interests and transient values. At the end of the twentieth century, the activity paradigm of understanding spirituality was questioned. It was based on the idea of the identity of consciousness and being. From our point of view, the avant-garde and post-avant-garde made a significant contribution to this rethinking. It is found that in contemporary art there is a task to update the tradition of the avant-garde. Avant-garde is the problematization of the foundations of artistic activity and existence. To know oneself, to move away from social vanity, to learn to live together, to decide to believe - on these «pathos» things focuses artistic expression. The goal of contemporary art is a directed movement beyond the limits of visual experience to the experience of comprehending the truth. In contemporary art spirituality is understood as an anthropological condition for creativity, as a way to restore the destroyed harmony, a sense of universality, interconnectedness.
