Summary/Abstract: The author examines the artistic concept of “art for art’s sake” (l’art pour l’art) in its various forms: as a manifesto of a cer- tain historical era (modernism, decadence, postmodernism) or the personal attitude of individual writers and philoso- phers (Nabokov, Croce). Particular attention is paid to the inextricable relationship of form and content, as well as the idea of their structural and semantic identity. One of the key conclusions of the study is the extreme heterogeneity of the idea of “art for art’s sake”, which main postulates and foundations reveal radical, sometimes mutually exclusive differences depending on the literary trend, literary or cultural theory, as well as in the individuality of a particular writer.
