Abstract:
Georg Lukács identifies the effect on an individual in everyday life from aesthetic experience and the continuous process on the basis of aesthetic normativity and historical materialism, and maintains that aesthetic catharsis lifts a recipient from the situation of a whole person to one of human wholeness, and thus lays the rational foundation for aesthetic education. This idea, critically absorbed into Aristotle’s notion of catharsis and Schiller’s view of aesthetic education, consists of an aesthetic dimension of a theory of Marxist aesthetic education.
