SUMMARY

ABSTRACT ART IN THE IDEAL STATE
UDC 7.01+7.038
Author: Levina Tatiana, PhD, assistant professor, Faculty of Philosophy, National Research University – Higher School of Economics, e-mail: levinatat@gmail.com
Summary: Plato mentions danger of poetry and arts several times in “Republic”. Works of arts plays crucial role to morals, as they lead to deprave them, developing sense knowledge instead of the knowledge of intelligible forms. As noetic science does not advancing, therefore arts are not useful for the republic. Plato praise mathematics as a discipline that helps us to approach 'world of ideas' instead: contemplation on general meanings of things develops right intentions of our souls. I am trying to answer on the question: has abstract art also be banished, as mimetic forms of arts are, or it is associated with mathematics and is useful for citizens of the republic.
Keywords: abstract art, Plato, metaphysics, ideas, intelligible forms, Republic, Vivian del Rio, itself by itself

ORCID ID: 0000-0002-3239-6148
Summary: This paper is dedicated to the analysis of the existential-ontological concept of H. Plessner. In the paper the thesis that the philosophical anthropology of H. Plessner refutes the existential-ontological substantiation of the whole world-comprehension in the pre-empirical anthropology as the theoretical doctrine of “being-consciousness” is substantiated. According to Plessner, the philosophy of person is impossible without the philosophy of nature, as far as the mode of existence of the person can be perceived only as the mode of being of the “natural entity”. On this basis the philosophy subject is to be, according to Plessner, not theoretical, but “living”, or natural, existentia.

Thus, psychoanalytic dialectic of the maniac behavior needs to be supplemented by social dialectics of individual behavior, prone to crime but at the same time consciously building his character.
