Эстетика открыла новую территорию чувств, переживаний, аффектов, которая была оставлена без внимания в посткартезианской философии. Появление эстетики было материалистическим восстанием тела против тирании теоретического. Но с другой стороны, обращение к чувствам позволяло власти укорениться на уровне безмолвной аффективной жизни индивидов. Эстетика, следовательно, является противоречивым концептом, сочетающем в себе как возможность внедрения господства в аффективную и телесную жизнь, так и утопическое видение равноправия чувственного в сообществе автономных субъектов.POLITICS OF AESTHETICS IN THE PROJECT OF MODERNITYThe article is devoted to the political aspects of genesis and expansion of aesthetics in the era of modernity.
