An Analysis of the Relationship Between Moral, Educational and Symbolic Values and Their Validity for the Definition of Art
Abstract
Defining art through artistic values remains a controversial issue in the field of art, with a myriad of artistic values such as aesthetic, historical and emotional values defining works of art. Likewise, it is a challenging task to clearly explain the relationship between these artistic values and to systematically sort out the logical relationships between them to assess their order more effectively. The main question of the research will be interconnected with the definitions of the various values provided in the article and identify some of the links between them. This paper analyzes the relationship between moral, educational and symbolic values and their validity for the definition of art. By analyzing a range of extreme and moderate examples presented by scholars, the study aims to distill the most balanced conclusions and compare them to popular theoretical perspectives. Ultimately, through logical reasoning, the study identifies moral value as a central factor influencing aesthetic value. This value not only plays a key role in the formation of aesthetic perceptions, but also exhibits a complex interrelationship with cognitive values.
