THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TRUTH AND THE WORK OF ART:B. CROCE AND H. G. GADAMER

Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes the relationship between truth and the work of art in Benedetto Croce’s aesthetics and Hans Georg Gadamer’s philosophy of art. It compares the main principles of art in their philosophies, show¬ing their similarities and differences. The approaches of these two thinkers are compared by presenting their concepts of truth, the art work and art experi¬ence. Croce considers art as an autonomic, subjective cognition. Nevertheless, the universal dimension of art experience is especially important in his aesthetics as well. Gadamer, for his part, uses the reflection of the experience of the art work as the foundation of a hermeneutic universality. the truth in this case is de¬scribed as contrasting with methodology and is taken to be an event of understanding. The article concludes that the relationship between truth and the art work which we find in Croce’s aesthetics is analogous to the one that lies in Gadamer’s philosophy of art.
