O reflexo da vida cotidiana, na ciência e na arte segundo Lukács

Abstract

This research aims to outline an introductory analysis on: quotidian life, science and art according to Lukács’s study on Aesthetics, who, based on materialism dialectic, conceives work and materialism as a creative act which gives life to social being. In the connection between material world and work, human being transform nature and themselves. Such connection gives origin to scientific knowledge as well as artistic appreciation. Individuals as ordinary beings relate themselves to material things in spontaneous, materialistic ways, while observing and understanding reality subjectively, to, then, act and interact upon. It is through ontological understanding that human beings are lifted from ordinary knowledge to superior spheres of knowledge, for example, science and art or aesthetic expression/appreciation. This way, science is related to comprehension of nature in forms of immanent and non-anthropomorphic. On the other hand, art relates to human beings as a knowledge, although also immanent, but anthropomorphic as well.

Index Terms – Art; science; aesthetics; quotidian life.
