Aesthetic Awareness and the Problematics of Anthropo-Civilisational Dimensions in Self-Practices

This study explores the foundations of aesthetic awareness through a critical lens that intersects philosophical reflection, anthropo-civilizational analysis, and self-practice.The study argues that aesthetic experience, far from being a derivative of sensory pleasure or ideological frameworks, functions as a metaphysical and epistemological modality that reconnects the self with the primordial dimensions of existence.Drawing on Kantian, Hegelian, and phenomenological perspectives, this work examines how aesthetic judgment transcends traditional dichotomies between reason and emotion, presence and absence, and self and object.It critiques the reification of beauty within sociocultural and ideological constructs while proposing aesthetics as an open, ethical space for human self-formation and historical engagement.Ultimately, the aesthetic subject becomes an agent of cultural renewal and ontological clarity when unbound by utilitarian or representational limits.
