%0 Journal Article %T Sensus communis aestheticus and the project of emancipation: The Utopian frame of the avant-gardes %A Niculet %A Loredana %J Eidos %D 2011 %I Universidad del Norte %X the conceptual basis which would be later developed by the artistic avant-gardes was settled by german romantic and idealist thought, whose utopian dimension could be easily recognized in the oldest system-program of german idealism (1796), a text which provided idealist thought with the claim of a new rationality or a mythology of reason in hegel, an intellectual intuition in schelling and the humanity in schiller. although this emancipation project developed later by the avant-garde has lost its credibility for us, we still have to investigate to what extent today's art can maintain a social function. this article point out certain idealist concepts in light of a philosophy of art modeled along lines sketched out in kant's critique of judgement and that have contributed to the history of the "advanced" art. %K sensus communis %K aesthetic idea %K philosophy of art %K emancipation project %K avant-gardes. %U http://www.scielo.org.co/scielo.php?script=sci_abstract&pid=S1692-88572011000100008&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en
