The development of aesthetics after Croce

Vani Roščić ; University of Zadar, Department of philosophy

Abstract

Philosophical neoidealistic reflection of Benedetto Croce´s and Giovanni Gentile´s thought during the first half of the twentieth century had an enormous effect not only on the Italian culture but on reflection of aesthetical questions in Croatia as well. After the Second World War Italy was no longer marked by a strong influence of a single philosophical movement and its aesthetical thought was opening up to pragmatism, phenomenology, existentialism, personalism and hermeneutics. In Croatia, on the other hand, aesthetical discussions with other Italian thinkerswere not continued with the same intensity. Our analysis, which deals with specific authors, will be directed towards those aesthetical questions which emerged from different polemics of the contemporary Italian aestheticians with Croce´s aesthetics and their attempt to give, from the aesthetical point of view, an adequate answer about the relation of the contemporary society towards the beautiful and the art.
