Valențe Simbolice ȘI Viziuni Estetice Ale Sacrului ȘI Profanului
Symbolic Valences And Aesthetic Visions Of The Sacred And The Profane

Summary/Abstract: The notions of sacred and profane are an attempt to explain and order the world starting from the Judeo-Christian traditions often supported as the foundations of Western society. The two terms are often used together as a figure of speech, thus suggesting the defining features between a series of antithetical terms: good and bad, divine and evil, civilized or savage (uncivilized), deserving or worthless, white and black, etc. In the beginning nothing was profane; each instrument was a symbol and even the decoration was symbolic and sacred. As time went on, man's imagination spread more and more on a secular and earthly level, and man felt the need for an art that was for him and not just for Heaven; thus the Earth, which at first was experienced as an extension or an image of heaven, became progressively simply earth, and the man felt more and more that he had the right to be only human.
