SPIRITUAL COGNITION THROUGH ART AND AESTHETICS IN THE NEO-ENEOLITHIC UTILITARIAN MATERIAL CULTURE

Summary/Abstract: The soul and the body mutually desire comfort, and in the service of this are the utilitarian objects adapted for a certain function, based on form and composition in relation to the way and conditions of life. The soul is nourished by knowledge, as a proverb says: "the eye is the window of the soul". On the contrary, the concept of 'nothing' is unbearable and produces "horror vacui" (fear of emptiness). Art and aesthetics as human activities represent the materialization of feelings for a way out of certain psychological burdens. History proves that the process of cultural development, in every era, follows a universal path of development, as well as social, linguistic, and even biological. A united unit disintegrates, then branches go towards other integrations, and thus new symbioses are assimilated into another formation, respectively take a new shape with specific identity, in a continuous and vicious process. The process of graphic reconstruction of vessels from their fragmentary state, the knowledge of their real form and function, represents a special communication with the past, starting from current experience, through interaction with feeling and reason, material and spiritual, idea and predetermination. The question of spirit and the nature of matter will continue to remain a mystery to philosophy and science.
