Panaiotidi, E. G. The Crisis of Poesis and Problems of Praxeological Esthetics

Abstract: Followers of praxeological esthetics define a music composition as a form of intentional, contextually determined activity and opposes their approach to the classical esthetics viewing music as the esthetical phenomenon, on the one hand, and its interpretation of the concept of music composition, on the other. The author of the article criticizes and analyzes arguments which lay in the basis of the modal and ontological opposition. Firstly, the author concludes the opposition of the esthetics against ontology does not have as many grounds and rather farfetched. Secondly, the conclusion part of the article shows that interpretation of Aristotle’s distinction between practice and poesis as a strong opposition is not that correct. This is why the author of the article offers his own alternative interpretation.


Keywords:

philology, praxeological esthetics, music composition, activity, poesis, esthetical concept of music, musical perception/performance, Aristotle, ontological status of a goal, Elliott.
