Schelling's Philosophy Of Art And Its Effect On Marx Aesthetics Thought

In Schelling's theory the philosophy of art is the representation of "absolute" in the art morphology. The "absolute" is the archetype of "genuine" to philosophy, while it is the archetype of "aesthetics" to art,so philosophy and art are just the two different modes of observation for the same absoluteness. In the Western history of thoughts, Schelling has established viewpoint of the philosophy and the artistic modernity for the first time. Schelling's artistic philosophy conveys the present anxiety of human living condition in-depth and the reconsideration and the critique of modernity, these thought ray has been shining upon the contemporary thinker about artistic and the survival discussion, which mainly manifests in:Schelling's thought characteristic which unifies reasonable intuition with the aesthetic intuition transformed German classical philosophy which takes the rationality as the leading philosophy idea. He took art as the method to resolve the problems of life and found the way to break through philosophical theory of existence; Schelling reiterated that myth is the critique for survival condition of the age of enlightenment in the enlightening non-myth time. He explained the myth from perspective of person's existence, changed the myth from the epistemology to the ontology, and aimed at person's world construction from the myth world construction; Schelling related art with the truth and the history, had the art truly participated in the advancement of human history and made them appear in ours field of vision as the words strength revolt modernity. Schelling's art of philosophy is not what everybody usually thinks about esthetics event, its true thought significance lied in the correlation between its essence and the contemporary condition of human history.From the angle of thought inheritance the Schelling's art of philosophy has affected Marx's aesthetics thought.However, Marx not only inherited the predecessor thought but also surmounted the predecessor because he paved own way in the method to introduce the concept of practice to the field of esthetics. It can be figured out through relative study that Schelling art philosophy and the Marx esthetics thoughts are different from our daily thoughts in regard to artistic question. In their discussion of art from point of view of philosophy level, art no longer becomes dispensable, but person's survival dimension. They reminded us to reconsider to the artistic daily understanding and not to be arrogant, despite and scolded caused by rationality so that the artistic true essence and the function could be recovered.
