H. HEGEL AND V. I. IVANOV: THE HIGHEST AIM OF ART

Sycheva S. G.

Information About Author:

The problem of correlation between aesthetic ideas in texts by Hegel and Ivanov is investigated. The main point is the question about the symbol. The definitions of this notion in books of both thinkers are analyzed. For Hegel symbol is only a scientific sign, for Ivanov it’s a religious sing. They understand the main aim of art equally: as sensitive representation of Absolute. But there means are different: Hegel suggests overcoming symbolism by classicism, Ivanov says about raising art up to religious creativity.

Keywords: aesthetics, H. Hegel, V. I. Ivanov, symbolism, symbol, the highest aim of art, classicism, romanticism, religious creativity
