Jean Anouilh

We are faced with the saving limitation that allowed great art to arise. This limitation to an act of faith cuts off a potentially limitless flow of questions. Naturally, the strict discipline imposed by the liturgy must become an internal need, turn into a voluntarily put on fiery hair shirt of the soul, become a boundary accepted with a warm heart, and not protected by the police. There are mystical and police limitations, and if these latter do not lead to the emergence of great works, then just because the policeman controls others, he is not an inspired servant of his own art, deifying official instructions. Therefore, the prohibition must come from above, the line must be given in revelation and accepted by an ardent heart that does not question any authority or justification, it must be indisputable, just as the leaves, stars, and sand underfoot are indisputable. Therefore, faith must be embodied in a completely inflexible, absolute reality. And only in this way does the spirit - bound, submissive, but trying, with constant obedience, to express the world and itself, having such little space for ingenuity, in a narrow strip of freedom creates great works. This applies to all forms of art that are guided by deadly seriousness, forms that exclude detachment, irony, ridicule - is it possible to laugh at gravel, a bird's wing, the setting of the moon and the sun? Dance, for example, represents only apparent freedom - the dancer only plays at it, submitting in reality to the dictates of the score, which specifies his every premeditated movement, and individual self-expression appears only in the cracks left for interpretation. Of course, such sublime restrictions can be found outside of religion, but then they have to be given a sacred character and believe that they are inevitable and not far-fetched. The awareness of what can be done differently, the rejection of rigid necessity in favor of an ocean of mastered techniques, styles, methods, methods fetters thought and hands with freedom of choice. - translation: E. P. Weisbrot, 1969, 1993. This is the development of Goethe’s thought from the last three lines of the poem “Nature and Art” (1800).

Stanislav Lem

An excessive desire for aesthetics can swallow up any capital.

Boris Krieger

Life is not a highway, but art lifts a person and often takes him aside.

Ilya Erenburg

But what is art? The concepts of art are as conventional as the concepts of good and evil. Every century, every country looks at good and evil differently; what is considered valor in one country is considered a crime in another. In addition to these differences of time and place, mingled with the question of art is the endless variety of individual tastes. In France, which considers itself the most cultural country in the world, Shakespeare was not understood or recognized until this century: many such examples can be recalled. And it seems to me that there is no such poor man, such a savage, in whom the feeling of beauty does not sometimes flare up, only their artistic understanding is different. It is very likely that the village men, sitting on the grass around a home-grown balalaika player or guitarist on a warm spring evening, enjoy no less than the conservatory professors listening to Bach fugues in the stuffy hall.

Alexey Apukhtin

People's tastes inevitably change over time, and what one generation considers only fit for a landfill will seem like an antique value to the next.

Fragment for review

However, unlike science, which excites those who study it and reassures those who benefit from its fruits, art excites both artists and spectators equally. In my opinion, this is due to the fact that science addresses exclusively the rational side of human nature, while art affects both rational and subconscious sides. The proportions of the golden section, maintained in the Parthenon Temple on the Acropolis, are at the same time strictly rational, since they have a scientific and mathematical origin, and at the same time, absolutely spiritual, since they are the embodiment of beauty. Thus, I can only partially agree with the author of this statement. Recognizing that science has the ability to provide stable and rational foundations for the world and, thereby, have a “calming” effect on people, I believe that scientific research in the same way encourages people to something new and better, just like art. Consequently, both science and art are not only ways of mastering the surrounding reality, but also factors that contribute to changing a person for the better.

Eight methods to calm down

METHOD OF RATIONAL PSYCHOTHERAPY

Now let's look at methods for relieving negative emotions. It should be said right away that most of the above methods are used in psychotherapy to treat neuroses and partially abstinence. Here, however, these methods will be given in a different context, not for the treatment of neuroses, but rather to prevent their occurrence. The most common causes of neuroses are the accumulation of negative emotions, the patient’s fixation on traumatic situations and acute and excessive experiences. Thus, knowing how to relieve negative emotions is very useful.

Relatively quickly, an offended person calms down in two cases: when he forgives the offender, and when he takes revenge on the crime. The psychological method of revenge is easier, there is no need to judge who is right and who is wrong, there is no need to rise to the heights of morality. The crime is bad enough to harm him, and you will immediately calm down. The whole problem is that inhibition is temporary, and gloating is the joy of a sadist. After an act of revenge, and a small conflict, we come to psychological, but also physical war.

The method of rational psychotherapy can only be used by one intelligent, well-knowledgeable comrade in life. And if not, why not? Then you have to resort to other methods of psychotherapy, but when independently analyzing a conflict situation, you should first look for the cause of the conflict in yourself.

DISTRACTION METHOD

The method of distraction is a method of relieving negative emotions that we also often unconsciously resort to in life. "Don't think about it, take your mind off it!" - this is what I have said many times to an upset person. The whole problem is that a person cannot just stop thinking about a traumatic situation.

Scientific picture of the world

The scientific picture of the world is a holistic system of ideas about the general properties and patterns of the world, arising as a result of generalization and synthesis of basic natural science concepts and principles. In its structure, two main components can be distinguished: conceptual and sensory-figurative. The conceptual component is represented by philosophical categories (matter, motion, space, time, etc.), principles (systemic unity of the world, universal interconnection and interdependence of phenomena), general scientific concepts and laws (the law of conservation and transformation of energy). The sensory component of the scientific picture of the world is a set of visual ideas about nature (planetary model of the atom, the image of the Megagalaxy in the form of an expanding sphere).

The main difference between the scientific picture of the world and the pre-scientific and non-scientific one is that it is built on the basis of a certain fundamental scientific theory that serves as its justification.

The basis of modern scientific ideas about the structure of the world is the idea of ​​its complex systemic organization. The presence of common characteristics of organization makes it possible to combine various objects into classes of various systems. These classes are often called levels of organization of matter or types of matter. All types of matter are related to each other genetically, i.e. each of them develops from the other.

Modern scientific ideas about the world form a new worldview, which is called cosmism. It views humanity as a natural stage of cosmic evolution, as a kind of crystallization of the creative forces of Nature, as if allowing in the person of man the opportunity to comprehend its innermost secrets. The psychotherapeutic function of such an idea is obvious. The idea of ​​man as a logical link in the development of the Universe removes the problem of man’s existential rootedness in the world. The spiritual powers of people are beginning to be viewed not simply as a product of a random combination of circumstances on a planet lost in the abyss of galaxies, but as a manifestation of the necessary but hidden mechanisms that set earthly civilization in motion, reconciling the temporary and the eternal, the relative and the absolute, the earthly and the heavenly.

One of the central ideas is as follows. In the process of natural evolution, the “Universe” supersystem acquires, with the help of humans, the ability not only to know itself, but also to direct its development in such a way as to compensate or weaken possible destabilizing factors. Problems of this kind, solved within the boundaries of the corresponding pictures of the world, are “eternal”, since they do not allow for a final answer suitable for all times. Humanity is doomed to always listen to the mysterious silence of intergalactic spaces and feel in the soul the inexplicable charm of creative comprehension of the starry sky above our heads.

Essay example

“Art should teach to love virtue and hate vice” (D. Diderot)

I chose the statement of the French writer, educational philosopher Denis Diderot: “Art should teach to love virtue and hate vice.”

In my opinion, this aphorism raises the problem of the purpose of art, its role in human life.

I chose this aphorism, since the topic touched upon by the classic is more relevant than ever for the modern world. Nowadays, art is often used not as a carrier of high ideals and values, ideas about Good and Evil, but as just a means of making a profit.

The author believes that the true purpose of art is to be a concentration of moral and ethical norms and ideals, to carry ideas of goodness and virtue, to help a person form a scale of values ​​and ideas about a worthy life and behavior.

I cannot but agree with the author's opinion. Without a doubt, it is largely through art that we learn about the world and receive education. Art gives each of us the opportunity to understand and change ourselves through contact with the world of beauty. It is impossible to deny the fact that art is the embodiment of the cultural heritage of society, a reflection of a particular era; it has a serious impact on public consciousness and people’s perception of the surrounding reality.

Art, as mentioned above, underlies the formation of personality. Each of us feels the influence of art every day, sometimes without realizing it. Art connects generations, unites and unites people, thereby directly influencing the fate of the state.

Interaction with the world of art satisfies human spiritual needs, which, by the way, were placed at the very top of the pyramid of needs by the American scientist A. Maslow. Love and creativity, religion and moral standards, morality, knowledge of the world and oneself - everything is embodied in art.

If art contains vice and false ideals, then its influence will be destructive both for the individual and for the entire society as a whole.

Based on all of the above, we can conclude that art is art only when it carries a message that can influence a person, change him, direct him to the right path, when it teaches goodness, justice, true, sincere love for loved ones , Motherland...
