Abstract

The problem of creating works of art through the ontology of Martin Heidegger – is considered in the article. Since the time of Aristotle, philosophers, including Christian philosophers up to Hegel, have considered this problem. Martin Heidegger’s main criterion for solving this problem was the criterion of authenticity or non- authenticity of existence, which can be revealed in a work of art. The importance of the problem is connected with our eternal search for the true meaning of human existence. In particular, Martin Heidegger’s philosophical system posits the problem of distinguishing authentic and non-authentic human existence; the problem of true and non-true. The main question of Heidegger’s philosophy–how to search for the meaning of existence—can also be addressed to the creation of an artwork, in which authentic existence is concretized. Heidegger suggests the correlation between art and science as a correcting and supplementary sphere; the search for the meaning of existence is realized owing to that unity. The modern theory of fine arts is orientated to that synthesis of art and science. That synthesis allows to create of some new conceptual theses, classifications and, perhaps, even laws of the theory of fine arts, which were a previously unsolved problem in the contemporary theory of fine arts. The contemporary theory of fine arts shows the conception of artist, an author of a work of art, as a master-prophet and, consequently, demonstrates some aspects and possible schemes of creation.
