Abstract
<em>Aim of this research’s draft is to understand the place and meaning of the arts in the human frame and society. The main hypothesis is that the role of the arts consists above all in producing objects of interpretation. This is not only a “role”; actually, it is an identity and a meaning. Artworks are tools to be interpreted, meaningful structures that live only to be understood. The rule of the game is that the artwork must be</em> per se<em> significant (even when representing the senselessness of the world). Thus, the artwork activates inevitably a </em><em>Call for Interpretation (CFI)</em><em>, which is the fulfillment of its identity. The essay explores the fields of music/poetry and of cave arts, to get a preliminary setting of the scientific proposal.</em>

Aim of this research’s draft is to understand the place and meaning of the arts in the human frame and society
The main hypothesis is that the role of the arts consists above all in producing objects of interpretation
In a nutshell: we think that every artwork, as such, activates a Call for Interpretation (CFI), destined for every human being, and in this way the artwork fulfils its own role in the society
Summary
Aim of this research’s draft is to understand the place and meaning of the arts in the human frame and society. The main hypothesis is that the role of the arts consists above all in producing objects of interpretation. This is a “role”; it is an identity and a meaning. Arts are created by humankind for humankind; they do not anyway transcend the secular dimension—even though it might seem like so—and they have a certain function within the community life. Their function is to provide meaningful structures in a world that does not guarantee a meaning.
