The System of Structural Transcendentalism in Aesthetics

This work substantiates the method of structural transcendentalism as a system of aesthetics that can be extrapolated to general ontology and the analysis of forms of being. Compared to the transcendental and phenomenological approaches existing in philosophy, the proposed systematic method serves as a protective mechanism that safeguards consciousness from dehumanization by transforming fragile intuition into a stable structure. Art is understood here not as an idealizing mirror, but as the very fabric of human existence. The theory of art is based on taste and myth, considered as derivatives of a priori forms of sensibility (space and time) and their projection into the sphere of artistic consciousness, as the principles of art in their dialectic. A comparative analysis of ancient epic poetry reveals its mythological substrate and the unique diffuseness of myth as an energetic principle, interwoven with language from the very origins of conceptual formation. The study then turns to the paradigm of primitive art to analyze the nonverbal, bodily-sensory nature of myth embedded in the plasticity of images.
