EXISTENTIAL AESTHETICS: MEMORY, EMOTION, AND THE HUMAN CONDITION

Bol

This book develops a philosophical framework of liberation aesthetics, where art is no longer a luxury or commodity but an existential act that sustains survival, creativity, and freedom. Against the backdrop of technocracy, ecological crisis, and market domination, aesthetics is redefined as a living process that resists reduction to tools or price. It emphasizes the body, emotions, memory, and community as the foundations of aesthetic experience, restoring human capacity in an age of alienation. The text critiques the instrumentalization and marketization of art, showing how beauty, when tied to profit, loses its liberating power. Instead, art must be reclaimed as a space of truth, freedom, and creativity, where limits themselves become material for expression. Through an interdisciplinary approach, liberation aesthetics emerges as both a critique of existing norms and a vision of a new existential order. In this perspective, art is not confined to museums but becomes a mode of life, an open structure where every human being can participate in affirming dignity, dialogue, and creativity.
