Abstract: The subject of this article is a study of the problem of metaphysical substantiation of aesthetics in Kant's philosophy, conducted during the analysis of two editions of the introduction to the Critique of the Faculty of Judgment. The results of the conducted research allow us to find out to what extent Kant's interpretation of aesthetics is metaphysically loaded. For the first time since Plato and Aristotle, the metaphysical horizon opens up again in Kantian aesthetics. Special attention is paid to the consideration of the "Critique of the Power of Judgment" as the first work in the history of thought in which aesthetics appears as a system-forming element of the construction of metaphysics. Kant's aesthetics allows us to look at the current problems of the metaphysics of art again and in a new way; being a spiritual motivation for the transformation of human nature, it is something inextricably linked with the manifestation of the metaphysical in us. In domestic and foreign literature, only some approaches to this topic are outlined (V. F. Asmus, T. I. Oizerman, E. Kuenemann, etc.), the author's special contribution to the study of this topic is a holistic analysis of poorly formalized problems associated with the study of metaphysical structures of Kantian aesthetics, with the identification of relevant grounds for it. In both editions, we are talking about the metaphysical prolegomena of aesthetics as a kind of exegesis of the entire transcendental philosophy of Kant. At the same time, aesthetic reflection is embedded in metaphysics as a form of completion of the project of the entire culture of the human mind. The measurement of the aesthetic a priori leads to conclusions about ways to use means to achieve all the goals that befits humanity.

Abstract: The purpose of this article is to reveal how aesthetics is embedded in the way of substantiating metaphysics as a science, how its thinking skills are honed during the "rehearsal of the beginning" carried out on the stage of the "Critique of Pure Reason". The aesthetic voice is expressed in a metaphysical discourse involving a dispute about the foundations of knowledge, these foundations themselves are explicated at a fundamental level by the consciousness of changing proportions – these initial aesthetic categories. In this context, it is necessary to reveal the role of aesthetics as a fundamental philosophical science, to raise its originality to theoretical consciousness by reflection. Here, first of all, the question arises about the meaning of the image of aesthetics, which is on the other side of the canvas, about the relationship of aesthetic attitudes and the world concept of philosophy.   The main conclusions of the study are the provisions on aesthetics as the metaphysics of a work that produces infinity, expressing the "musical identity of all things" in the aesthetic facet of the world concept of philosophy. Aesthetics is also the feeling of the ideas of the original reality, the spiritual contemplation of superexperienced, supersensible grounds; this metaphysical a posteriori is precisely the primordial freedom of all creation, the freedom of art in contact with nature. Aesthetics is initially immersed in the fabric of metaphysical reflection, which in some cultural traditions is described as creative. And for aesthetics, the question is important, what is the structure of this principle, what is the way of dressing its mental tissue.

Abstract: The objective of this study is to identify inimitable examples of the introduction of aesthetic content into the Western European metaphysical tradition, as it was embodied in Kant's understanding of the world concept of philosophy, which has certain aesthetic connotations. In the article, the author analyzes new stages of the movement towards the world concept of philosophy, on which the aesthetic meaning of the basic structures of transcendentalism is explicitly or implicitly realized: the art of schematism as a world concept of epistemology; the world concept of art as an organ of understanding artistic works. In addition, this discussion becomes particularly relevant when they seek to reveal how much the concept of schematism allows us to advance to the explanation of the world concept of philosophy. The work reveals how Kant reproduces the definition of the world concept of philosophy according to a certain model, while posing the problem of the typical embodiment of the idea, the ideal of the philosopher as a model. In this connection, a new complication of aesthetic analysis is being carried out in order to show how the world concept of philosophy was personified and presented as if in the ideal of the philosopher as a model. Therefore, the paradox of the world concept of philosophy lies in the fact that we have to talk about a sample of what does not yet exist. The author reproduces a transcendental language that will reveal the movement of aesthetic thought into the center of the world concept of philosophy, where the traditional artistic technique of personification of the philosopher's ideal as a model is performed, where the contemplation of meaning is transferred into the universality of the concept, into the contours of metaphysics.

Abstract: The subject of the research is the features of Kant's "Critique of Pure Reason", which contribute to the methodological acquisition of aesthetic identity, they are generated through the transition to harmony of higher cognitive abilities, set the prospect of revealing how art is possible, and declare themselves in a specific experience of color and ideality of perfection and other concepts significant for aesthetics. Transcendental aesthetics, within which the first semantic images of aesthetics as a science and cultural form are formed, as a singular a priori of the history of art, as well as the structure of the coloristic discourse of criticism, reduces any objectivity of color and reveals the essential structures of its subjective experience.   Kant, with one purely transcendental rhythm of reflection in the first Critique, revealed the conditions for the possibility of the aesthetic, raised the question of what makes all art possible; the transcendental undertaking itself manifested both timelessness and temporality behind their work in art.In the Critique of Pure Reason, the concept of perfection is analyzed outside of transcendental aesthetics, where a more or less definite description of perfection is given, which is directly related to the aesthetic facet of the transcendental meaning of the world. Its exceptional importance for understanding Kantian aesthetics is due to the fact that the metaphysics of perfection in late Kant allows us to rethink the critical approach to identifying the structures of aesthetic judgment in the third "Critique".

Abstract: The subject of the research is the ways of substantiating the fundamental concept of aesthetic science -- the category of aesthetic in Kant's philosophy. The author examines such aspects of the topic as the content of transcendental philosophy, in which the mind indulges in a purely aesthetic occupation, draws for himself the structure of the whole, the congruence of the conditions of the work of art of a priori fulfillment of feelings, understanding the category of beauty under the sign of aesthetic intention cogito, analysis of how the artist combines the aesthetic aspects of the thing in itself with the incommensurable worlds in the work art. The aesthetic exists in a kind of universal space, which is defined by the transcendental as the "last foundation". The main conclusions of the study is the statement that, by analogy with transcendental aesthetics, Kant admits an aesthetic of pure practical reason that is not identical to it, expressing the hope that in the future it will be possible to comprehend both as elements of the unity of the entire faculty of pure reason. The author's special contribution to the study of the topic is the search in the context of the philosophical interpretation of the concept of aesthetic pleasure, as it is carried out within the framework of Kant's moral philosophy. The novelty of the research lies in identifying the dramaturgy of the foundations of the aesthetic, which does not presuppose any of its scenario as a basis for building aesthetic thinking, in revealing how the system of aesthetic interactions and syntheses correlates with structures ideally initial in relation to the world and man, with absolute foundations, without which there is no aesthetics.

Abstract: The aim of the research is to determine the meaning of metaphor for identifying the metaphysical foundations of aesthetics, to analyze how the ways of this definition are drawn in the philosophy of Kant, Husserl, Heidegger, Derrida, Mamardashvili. Their works help to understand how a metaphysical metaphor is constructed, its aesthetic matrix. Since ancient times, aesthetic thought has considered the concept of the language of metaphor with its double ambiguity, various metaphorical figures as structures internally connected with categorical reflection on the system of art, and the metaphor itself was conceived as a form of semantic perception and the creation of an artistic landscape. Revealing the place of aesthetics in the structure of metaphysics, the author examines the aesthetic role of the metaphorical within metaphysics, the complexity of the relationship between the concept of metaphor and the fundamental metaphysical category of being In the world scientific literature, there is an infinite number of works in which metaphor is considered as a rhetorical figure. But studies of metaphysical metaphor are rare. For the first time in the Russian-language literature, the article outlines approaches to the aesthetic understanding of metaphysical metaphor, as they developed mainly in the philosophy of Heidegger and Derrida. In their concepts, the intuition of the metaphor itself as metaphysics is revealed, the idea of the metaphysical metaphor of light is revealed, the understanding of the transcendental ego as a metaphor is revealed, and the concept of the substance of the metaphor itself is clarified. Special attention is paid to the aesthetic and metaphysical interpretations of metaphor in modern Russian philosophy.--

Abstract: The subject of the study is the relationship between aesthetics and metaphysics, as it is drawn in Kant's transcendentalism. In the Critique of the Faculty of Judgment, Kant generally believes that the idea of perfection does not correlate with the idea of a sense of pleasure, and in the first introduction to the Critique of the Faculty of Judgment, he is far from considering the ways of solving the problems of the relationship between perfection and the aesthetic sense of pleasure convincing. But the attitude to perfection changes in Kant's later works, the analysis of which shows that the idea of perfection, in fact, is conceived as a way of founding the whole of aesthetics, its initial category – the beautiful, the meaning of which coincides with the expression of aesthetic perfection if it is genuine beauty.
The metaphysics of perfection contained in the analyzed works of Kant encourages a new look at the categorical apparatus of Kant's aesthetics, formed in the "Critique of the Faculty of Judgment", to expand the idea of Kant's aesthetics as part of transcendental metaphysics. The concept of perfection expresses various aspects of metaphysical research, while preserving its immanent qualities in aesthetics. In predication as an act of modern aesthetic utterance, it is difficult to identify any stages and structures that can be specifically associated with perfectionism. The question of the field of such connections is quite controversial, including in modern Russian philosophy.

Abstract: This article reveals the philosophical grounds of the aesthetics of color, analyzes the correlation between the structures of philosophical and artistic comprehension of coloristics. Interaction of philosophy and art as the forms of cultural identity manifests in the sphere of intellectual understanding of the perception of color and its semantics in painting. In the hidden logic of contemplation of color, can be traced the outlines of the problematic of transcendental and intelligible in art conditions for the aesthetic approach towards chromatic space. Color creates the visual beauty, thus it is apparent why the aesthetic knowledge seeks to clarify to which extent we can assess the experience of color – the result of coloration of light. The art itself creates the so-called color ontology of the world. First the first time, the beauty of color and its perception are analyzed in the context of correlation between art and transcendental traditions of philosophizing  (Descartes, Kant, early Husserl –  his work “The Philosophy of Arithmetic”) that allows matching the key to a new interpretation of the tradition of color. Determination of its meaning requires comparing history and structure of the philosophical and artistic metaphor of color. It is demonstrated that the phenomenon of color is of crucial significance for the aesthetics, as it implies not only comprehension of the problem of correlation between nature and art, but also cognition of the beauty of color, its universal value for all forms of art, profound structures of perception of coloristic phenomena, picturesque unveiling of the color harmony of the painting.

Abstract: The aim of the study is to clarify the aesthetic concept of color perception from the phenomenological reasoning of Edmund Husserl. Today, the orientation diagram of the field of phenomenological research is formed in various zones: from theological to naturalistic. In which of these zones the structures of the phenomenological analysis of color are located is not an easy question. The coloristic region is constituted according to the degree of consciousness, including aesthetic consciousness. It is extremely difficult to meet with the phenomenon of color, if only because its obviousness is fulfilled only by the fervor of the contemplative consciousness with its aesthetic pathos, a consciousness that distinguishes between, as it were, the reality of transcendent color and the aesthetic "continent of givens". We are talking, as Husserl would say, about the halo of consciousness, referring to the essence of perception performed in the mode of turning to the beauty of color. For the first time, approaches to the study of such a complex phenomenological topic as the description of a coloristic attitude, the eidetics of color experiences in Husserl's philosophy are outlined, the significance of its development for the comprehension of aesthetic and artistic consciousness is revealed.
The main conclusions of the study are related to the philosophical interpretation of the idea of color as included in phenomenology in the experience of philosophical surprise, which turns into the acquisition of the essence of "phenomenological color" in general, and in aesthetics it is directly correlated with the appearance of its structures on the horizon of the harmonic synthesis of acts of perceptual performance in the imagination, "primordial giving visions" of color, with the creation of a picture coloristic impressions as cognitive emotions, reduced pure color perception, with an understanding of how art makes the very conditions of color visibility obvious, how its artistic synthesis is made, in the structure of which correlation analysis can see an analogue of a priori empiricism – this fundamental characteristic of purely Husserl synthesis and method revealed in domestic studies.

Abstract: This article analyzes the approaches to understanding the aesthetic architectonics of coloristics and transcendental clarification of the dramaturgy of knowledge on color, as well reveals potential for its spiritual dimension. Viewing aesthetics as a form of metaphysical history of origin that changes modus of the ability to reason, and the aesthetics of color itself as what R. Arnheim calls metaphorical clash of modalities, the author demonstrates the emergence of text linguistics of coloristics as a manifestation of the observed at the limit, as a perception of unthinkable in creativity. The question that still remains open is one of how it is possible speak of transcendental vision of color, if the transcendental itself cannot be captured in a burst of passion or get inspired by it. Nonetheless, namely these acts are of great importance for comprehending all that suggests the presence of aesthetic predicates. For the first time it is shown that the conducted by Husserl analysis of the problem of perception of color is a paramount prerequisite for the phenomenological concept of intentionality of aesthetic consciousness. Transcendental phenomenology discovers fundamental grounds of this concept (also enabling aesthetic interpretation of the phenomena of consciousness) by modally intentioning understanding of the concept of color perception, finely structuring and describing it as a manifestation of activity of the consciousness on different levels.

Abstract: This article determines the approaches towards metaphysical substantiation of aesthetic reasoning, particularly those formulated in Aristotle’s “Metaphysics” and “Nicomachean Ethics”, as well as Kant’s “Critique of Pure Reason”. An attempt to find metaphysical keys to aesthetic knowledge leads to the question: does it relate to the teaching on the first beginnings; can aesthetical be spoken of as the point, which in a contracted form contains an aesthetic fabric of thought and artistic transcendence. If it does exists, then what is the specificity of the act that allows the aesthetic intuition to cherish the idea of the first beginning, a sort of the principle of parliamentarism for aesthetic subjects and get through sufferings associated with approaching the horizon of the beginning. The main conclusions consist in the theses on aesthetic capability of reasoning as the highest manifestation of subjectivity on the fact that the understood metaphysically aesthetical par excellence is immanent to the worldview (may be accepted as aestheticism and its criticism, but only its individual forms) creating the artistic meaning, a profound image of human beauty, and all of these oeuvres are involved in artistic transformation of the world.  This article is first within the Russian literature to consider the prerequisites for metaphysical substantiation of aesthetical in the “Critique of Pure Reason” by E. Kant.

Abstract: The article analyzes the color spectrum as an aesthetic intonation of transcendentalism, that most fully embodies everything from which follows the condition of existence a priori and a posteriori of the given matrix of knowledge of the world, our ontological place in it, creating the preconditions for the philosophical description of the contours of the meaning of a work of art, its semantic features, matrix for the visual synthesis of color, perspective in painting. Being a predestinated by the transcendental nature of the artistic subject, coloristic art project builds a prospect to imagine a color as a cryptic substance, as a direct manifestation of spiritual light, images spirituelles structure, as a blaze of pure reason, memory coloring. Solving a question on how to give a color aesthetics a transcendental meaning, how the aesthetics itself is inserted into the transcendental philosophy structure, the author invokes from Kantian approach, showing as far as coloring as science can be seen as scientia transcendens, realizing the intention of questioning the artistic truth and coinciding with the phenomenology of see-as-color. The following methodology was used: historical-philosophical and aesthetic research, analysis of art in the system of culture, the interdisciplinary methodology of the Humanities to describe artistic reality. The main conclusions are statements about the possibilities of considering color in the context of a global typology of artistic perception, explaining a color as something equivalent to a projection in space, allowing contemplate aesthetically in it. For the first time, transcendental exposition of the aesthetic sense of color is analyzed at the current level, the understanding of structures, primordial in relation to the light wave and color perception of the subject, which can be called transcendental coloristics, is brought to light. 

Abstract: This article analyzes the results of discussion on contemporary art, determines the place of aesthetic science in studying the specificity of the currently ongoing artistic processes, defines the difference in approaches towards aesthetic study of high art and the so-called actual art, traces the origins of representations that formed the idea of apparent antagonism of art in aesthetics. It is demonstrated that the answers to the questions raised by the researchers of the so-called contemporary art, perhaps, are somewhat important for anthropology or psychology; but from the perspective of aesthetics and philosophy of art are insipid. Therefore, it becomes clear why the analysts of the so-called contemporary visual art criticize namely the aesthetics. The main conclusion lies in the positions on the capabilities of aesthetic analytics of the so-called contemporary visual art that are rejected by the theoreticians of actual art. The author determines the aesthetic tools that allow examining the various structures of the field of contemporary artistic and creative reality. Special attention is given to the criticism of the attempts to invent a new analytical language for describing actual art that would differ from the aesthetic language. The author substantiates the new understanding of the subject matter of aesthetics, as well as the interpretation of certain vectors of the actual art (Actionism).

Abstract: The subject of this research is analysis of the process of establishment of aesthetic representations in Descartes’ philosophy, who abruptly turns the epistemological plot of European culture. It is determined how the lines of his thoughts on cogito intertwine with the fabrics of understanding of the aesthetic establishment of the existence of ego, comprehension of transcendental resemblance on the theatrical stage, as well as how the cogital orientations frame the language of a whole action in certain branches of art. The author reveals based on which other work this theatrical oeuvre has been created and what is the idea behind it? Cogito is presented as the existence of cogitative and experiencing it, adding an ultimate form of aesthetic manifestation. The scientific novelty lies in patterning of Descartes’ aesthetic orientations associated with the range of their conditions: harmony, reverence, generosity, joy of spirit, conceptual programs for sensual experience, activity of floating to consciousness imagination, ability to reasoning and improvement, determination of aesthetic meaning of Descartes’ fundamental postulate: cogito ergo sum, representation of how it can be converted into aesthetic format.
