Marx's Compatibility and Transcendence of Fiedler's Foundations of the Science of Art
In the history of Western art thought,Kant established the"beauty"of sensual existence through the critique of aesthetic judgment,and then established the"Fine arts"in the categorization of skills,which is the modern concept of art.Afterwards,Fiedler took the essence of art as the core in the study of visual art,and replaced the imitation theory originated from ancient Greece with the creation theory of art.At the same time,he raised the issue of the independence of art research,and started the process of the science of art and the disciplining of art.However,due to the philosophical foundation,Fiedler's art research was not sufficient,and the sensual and emotional character of art also determined the limitations of reasoning and discernment in art research.On the basis of the realistic philosophy of"labor",Marx's"theory of the pro-duction of art",which is governed by the universal law of production,is compatible with and transcends the"theory of artistic creation",which Fiedler confined to visual art,providing the scientific foundation for the clarification of the essence of art and the disciplining of art.
