Philosophy of arts as a "philosophy as a function of art"

The article deals with the peculiarity of cognitive attention, which predetermined the emergence of the «genitive case philosophy» - the philosophy of history, culture, art, etc. It is asserted that the formulation «philosophy of art» indicates that the dominant of the scientific discourse is eliminated and the dominant of the philosophical discourse is established, and in this case the «philosophy of art» appears as an investigation of the ultimate foundations of human existence undertaken on the basis of art. In this case, the «philosophy of art» is presented as a «philosophy as a function of art», i.e. the study of the ultimate foundations of human existence undertaken on the basis of art, when it is not a question of studying the phenomenon of art itself, but of expanding the empirical foundation of philosophy. Classical philosophy accomplishes its work in the space of pure reason, the non-classical brings back to the mind the dimensions of will and emotion, which actualizes the significance of religion and art, which provide what is escaped from immediate sensuality into the experimental reality. The philosophy of art in this case can be considered anthropology in the form of non-classical philosophizing. The philosophy of art as a «function of art» can be considered by anthropology in the form of non-classical philosophizing, when the dominance of a rational is replenished by equal rights of reason, sensuality and will.
