ART AND DECEIT

Abstract

This essay is fruit of my particular fatigue regarding my long work with arts and literature. One is tempted to believe that a piece of art and a l terary work can deliver us a better and smarter world. However, our idealistic obsession is notnecessarily connected with the essential foundations of these works as human creations. Or would that mean that art is a deceit? For a more profound examination with regards to this speculation I tried to find a path in German Idealism, in dialogue with Fichte, Schelling and Schiller, in order to support or alleviate my doubts, or to possibly extend this discussion for a longer period of time.
