Transformation of the Concept of Aesthetics in Ontological Hermeneutics: H. G. Gadamer, L. Pareyson

Summary/Abstract: The author analyses the transformation of the concept of aesthetics in the ontological hermeneutics of German philosopher Hans Georg Gadamer and Italian thinker Luigi Pareyson. Gadamer insists that aesthetics has to be assimilated into hermeneutical art philosophy, and this strategy fits the contemporary art perspective. However in Western tradition the dimension of art usually is related not to hermeneutical understanding and thought in general, but to the senses, intuition, imagination. Therefore there arises the question – Does Gadamer avoid the risk to resolve art into philosophy, as it was done in Hegel’s philosophy of art? On the other hand, there are doubts that this risk is common to hermeneutical philosophy in general. As the critics of hermeneutics have noted, hermeneutics deals more with the meanings and significances than with reality. These doubts are rejected by analysing the concept of aesthetics as the theory of formativity in Pareyson’s hermeneutics. The author observes that Pareyson’s aesthetics of formativity at some point is more radical than Gadamer’s concept of the art’s philosophy, because the first one considers the artwork as the practice.
