THE INSTITUTIONAL THEORY

OF ART AND THE AESTHETIC

AS A FORM

OF AESTHETIC CONSCIOUSNESS

 

The Call for Papers

In 1974 George Dickie published his Art and the Aesthetic: An Institutional Analysis, one of the most effective studies in contemporary aesthetics. The effects of this book were really tremendous and used to be involved in all segments of the aesthetic field both in the theoretical and in the practical mode. The last, practical, and even art-market one sometimes seemed to be dominating and covering the very deep and really fundamental philosophical ground of this theory leading to ontology of human consciousness and logic of family resemblances. In 2018 AU started from publishing of the translation of the key fragments of this great book according to the personal permission made with his own letter by the Author to AU Editor-in-Chief Sergey Dzikevich. In 2025 the full text of translation comes into academic circulation (Moscow, Prospekt Publishers).

These circumstances made the AU International Editorial Board as a sign of gratefulness to the book that turned to be the theoretical fundament of all activity of the journal to initiate The International Online

Theoretical Conference on Philosophy of Aesthetic Consciousness that is to stress the world aesthetic community intentions on the ontological and epistemological nature of aesthetic judgements as well as processes of their circulation in society. The Conference will be held by the journal once in every two years since September of 2025 with publication of its Proceedings in AU special issues in English and Russian languages.
