Възход и падение на догматичната естетика. Тодор Павлов срещу Исак Паси
Rise and Fall of the Dogmatic Aesthetics. Todor Pavlov Against Isaac Passy

Summary/Abstract: The main idea of the article is that the Marxist-Leninist aesthetics in its extreme and dogmatic variant, shared by academic Todor Pavlov, leads to theoretical disorganization not only in the field of aesthetics but in the general artistic field as well. This happens because the treatment of aesthetics simply as an ideological and political norm system inevitably leads to the disappearance of art as anything other but ideology and politics. The article examines an extremely dangerous dogmatic reduction that does huge harm on the ever-present diversity of art. By means of this reduction dogmatism through its political and ideological concepts is even capable of destroying art. Dogmatism ideologically mystifies art, thus in fact obliterating it.
