| Abstract [eng] |
In this research the problem of faith as an experience of loss of relation with reality is approached through its manifestation in modern musical creation. Aesthetical point of view is understood as a possibility to mediate this experience in a different way than it is treated in science, and by doing so, it can actualize given problem in an art recepting consciousness. This art’s capacity is revealed in the philosophy of A. Schopenhauer, F. Nietzsche and M. Heidegger. Exclusive attention in this research is given to musical creation, which is understood as interconnecting two elements of sense mediation: linguistic (poetic) and sound (musical). Both these elements are treated as complementing one another; speech gives context to music, and music enriches poetical sound. The relevancy of problem of faith in modern context is shown through hermeneutical interpretation of German musical band Diary of Dreams’ album One of 18 angels. The problem of faith reveals itself in nihilistc way, which was conceptualized in the philosophy of Nietzsche. The album presents a vision of the world which is abandoned by divinity. Such vision is understood as a modified Nietzsche’s statement of „God’s death“. In a situation of loss of relation with reality main attention goes towards the search for the sense of existence. Recognition of indirect adaptation of Nietzsche’s thinking is understood as a continuing challenge for the Western culture to understand itself. |
