Publisher's Synopsis:
Discomfort
in aesthetics results from aesthetic moments that reveal only pure aesthetics
and thus insufficient transitions into life. If aesthetics is to intervene in
the social, then at some point art must also go beyond art. The experience from
the aesthetic enclave should be maintained, but its narrowing to pure beauty and
purposelessness must be ended and contextualized. The counter concept to
aesthetics is life. However, this is not about the concept of art or life as
such, but about what takes place between these two poles. These two different
moments are looking for a transition and access to each other. Until this is
found, we will understand this in-between space as the place of an aesthetic
loneliness because of its unsuccessfulness, and because it is difficult for most
of the thinkers we have consulted to get out there, we consider this loneliness
as a labyrinth.
