Abstract
If the world is the subject of philosophy and it’s meaning, then we could say that art is the subject of reflection and aesthetic contemplation of it. Dr. Gavran Fr Ignatius would say that this is just an aesthetic experience, what is the principal in creating a work of art and his comprehension and the artist is called man who is able to produce so beautiful a work which we admire and which we enjoy. We could say with certainty that the relationship between philosophy and art are very close. The art liberates philosophy when it comes to the world beyond senses, and vice versa, philosophy frees art from its isolation in the field of sense. The purpose and goal of this paper is not going into the ontological sphere of thinking about philosophy and art, but to show the philosophical and aesthetic beauty of the thought of Dr. Fr Ignatius Gavran. The beauty of this philosopher, theologian, historian and theorist of art, is essentially transcendental character imbued with religious themes, and it is best shown by Dr. Fr Ignatius Gavran in his book “The great figures of art history.”
