Prolegomena za estetiku s poveznicom islama
Prolegomena for aesthetics linked with Islam

Summary/Abstract: In this paper a prolegomena to aesthetics linked with Islam has been presented which is a prolegomenious aesthetic discussion, but in a certain sense the aforementioned discussion encroaches inside the issues of epistemology, ontology, analytic philosophy and theology as well. In that context, the prolegomena points to the distinction between that which is pointed in the subtitle of this prolegomena, and that is the distinction with the request for separated subjects of research implied by Islamic aesthetics, that in Islam and that in Muslim society, and all that in order to respond to the requests of philosophers, aestheticians from within the other gnosis as well as those from within the same one, and orientalists in regard to the intricate literature on this matter. It has been derived that Islamic aesthetics and aesthetics in Islam are the subjects of the research within the aesthetics linked with Islam, and which should be characterised by one special collective term – el husn, as an aesthetics which has a base in the sources of religion, while aesthetics in Muslim society, as a third object of the research within the aesthetics linked with Islam, implies that which is not under the system of the el husn aesthetics, i.e. that which has been created in Muslim society but does not have a base in the sources of religion. Especially, here presented prolegomena has taken into consideration all the stances and opinions, but has stopped in front of the need of the Canon for what we have termed as el husn, because the aforementioned Canon is made by theologians, so it by no means can be the object of philosophical analysis, though a made Canon would certainly be a necessary template for further philosophical and theological analyses of this matter.
