On Value: Reconstruction of the Term after the "Death" of Aesthetics

Nikola Dedić ; Faculty of music, University of Belgrade, Serbia

Abstract

The article addresses the issue of value present in Stanley Cavell’s philosophy of art. It focuses on Cavell as the representative of the Anglo-American ordinary language philosophy and his attitude towards the European tradition of post-structuralism as well as his attitude towards the problem of intersocial communication, rationality and poststructuralist antihumanism. The main argument is this: while post-structuralist theory of art deconstructs the notion of value and gives prominence to the notion of transgression, Cavell draws on the philosophy of ordinary language in the late works of Wittgenstein and manages to offer a materialistic and informalist reconstruction of the notion of artistic value.
