Abstract

Abstract. The article deals with the actual meaning of the interpretation of the concept of «music» in the philosophical sense, when music is more than a kind of musical art, a concept that takes place in the concept of creative, poetic intuition of the religious philosopher Jacques Maritain. The authors discover in Maritain’s work an ontological sign of a stable core of an unchanging and changing «musical» present, according to the philosopher, in the preconscious creative Self. At the same time, he refers to the philosophical and historical origins in the views on music in the human world. The article provides for the connection of Mariten’s idea, which addresses the depths of creative, poetic intuition in art and poetry, with the author’s concept of G. G. Kolomiets «Concept of the value of music as a substance and a way of value interaction of a person with the world.» In Mariten’s work «Creative Intuition in Art and Poetry», the author of this article, in order to identify the ontological status of music, identified three provisions of Mariten’s creative, poetic intuition: «poetic experience», «poetic meaning», «music interiorization». The authors draw attention to the presence of the musical-substantial in the origins of Mariten’s theory, to the use by Mariten in poetry and art of the concepts «melody», «musical shock», «music of intuitive impulses». The article points out the correlation between the concept of duration in Bergson’s positive metaphysics and the idea of metaphysical intuition of being by Maritain, and also draws a parallel with the idea of substantial musical being in A.F. Losev’s religious philosophy. The author points out the difference and closeness of the views of religious philosophers Mariten and Losev on the existence of music and the importance of the ontological status of music, attractive to modern musical thinking, which is looking for a fundamental support for its activities. The fact that it is characteristic of a poet, an artist to contemplate the deep mousikë (music in the philosophical sense), according to Mariten, thereby affecting the psychological side of being musical, since not logos, but estesis attracts the attention of a religious philosopher, was briefly reported by G. G. Kolomiets at the X Ovsiannikov International Aesthetic Conference in November 2021, held at Lomonosov Moscow State University. However, this article provides an ontological justification of Maritain’s idea in the context of philosophical and historical interrelations in views on the existence of music, emphasizing the author’s conceptual approach to the philosophy of music.
