Editorial

We are pleased to present to our readers this issue of Perspectives on Culture, in which the central theme is contemporary art – understood here as beginning in the 1970s – with particular attention to its current condition, relevance, and role within modern culture. Art, like science, morality, and religion, is one of the fundamental expressions of human activity and thus constitutes a vital domain of culture. The continuous interplay between these spheres ensures that art remains in ongoing dialogue with science, morality, and religion.
