AESTHETIC EDUCATION IN THE MODERN GLOBAL SOCIETY

Abstract

In our time, aesthetic education gets new dimensions and new meaning for the individual development of every person and the life in the modern global society.
In this respect, we can discuss the conditions which prerequisite the need for aesthetic education and, moreover, determine its systemic and conceptual positioning and realization.
The modern theory of aesthetic education completely accepts the attitude that there are social and individual preconditions determining the need for aesthetic education and esthetic values supposed to permeate a modern person’s life.
The objective grounds for putting in the focus the aesthetic education in today’s conditions of human life and work are most directly related with the global contradictions originating from the scientific and technological revolution and the spread of the scientific and technological process in all the spheres of human work and life.
Today, the beautiful becomes a phenomenon intertwining life in its integrity and complexity.
The need for perceiving the beautiful and estimating the esthetic values in art demands to create in every individual the ability for estimating what is esthetically worthy in art, and what is trash. Such a need has special importance in these times when we are swamped with activities of, softly speaking, dubious quality.
