Abstract/Summary:
One of the problems that we have inherited from the philosophy of Idealism, is to find out models of relations which allow us to think together what we perceive divided. The philosophy of Ernst Bloch is a relational model that we can view as a utopian negative dialectic, in which the human being and nature are in a process of mutual constitution through fantasy.My work is divided in two parts. In the first one I try to explain the whole system of Ernst Bloch using as "leitmotiv" the concept of "the darkness of the lived instant". I try to show with it that the whole of Bloch's thinking is a coherent open system, in which the aesthetic plays the role of the foundation. According to this kind of lecture and understanding of Bloch's philosophy, in the second part I show the concepts of the interpretation of Art, paying special attention to Music.The outcome of the whole work is to offer the philosophy of Ernst Bloch like a dialectic of form and content, in which thinking means the effort of exceeding the limits of what is given to find new and better forms of adequation between that, what is jet, and that which is not jet but want and looks for its place and objective fulfillment.
