Художественное творчество как инструмент для достижения целостности человека

Abstract

Introduction. One of the most important exis- tential problems of a person is the problem of gaining inner integrity. The main “tool” for solving this problem has always been religious and (more widely) spiritual practices, which have become dif- ficult for representatives of European culture due to the destruction of traditional society. At the be- ginning of the 20th century, non-classical works of art appeared as one of the alternatives to spiritual practice, helping their creator to solve the problem of “self-construction”. This article discusses such works in various fields of art from the point of view of applied philosophy. The purpose of the paper is to show the role of an art work as a tool for self-knowledge and “self-con- struction of the author” using the examples from different areas of art. Methods. The methodological basis of the study was the theory of discreteness of existential time by Descartes, the concept of life as an effort in time (Mamardashvili, Proust), the concept of “out of na- ture” of the human phenomenon (Mamardashvili). Scientific novelty of the research. The universal- ity of the “self-construction” technique is shown by creating a work of art of a non-classical type. The role of the space of color forms as a tool of nature- like “self-construction” of a person is established. The authors set the task to apply the considered technique when working with students of creative specialties in practice. Results. 1. It is shown that a work of art as a tool for gaining the inner integrity of the author is possible not only in the field of literature (“stream of consciousness”), but also in cinema, music and painting. 2. It is shown that a work of art can be not only a tool of “self-construction”, but also a tool of self- destruction 3. It is shown that the space of living color forms can be an instrument of nature-like “self-construc- tion”. И. Artistic creativity in any field of art can be not only a form of the author’s self-expression, but also an effective tool to achieve the integrity of the inner world of the author and the reader (viewer), working with a piece of art as a record of the “work of consciousness”.
