Abstract

The article presents the path towards modern art's autonomy as exposed in Hegel's Aesthetics and Edmund Burke's Inquiry into the Origin of Our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful from a political perspective. While the idea of art's autonomy is currently perceived as the result of the progressist modern view on the independent and complementary character of the human spiritual faculties, from a political perspective the beautiful becomes autonomous as a result of the process of resetting the power relations between the fundamental cultural values - ethical, theoretical and aesthetical -, a repositioning determined by the modern abandoning of the traditional metaphysical view of the world. The analysis is sustained by Derrida's theory of the supplement, as well as by the Romantic thinkers' ideas on subjectivity and interiority.
