Произведенията на литературата и изкуствата като творческа и нематериална същност
The creative and intangible nature of works of literature and arts

Summary/Abstract: This article examines works of literature and art as objects of intangible and creative nature, where the creative, spiritual, and economic dimensions of human activity intersect. Through an interdisciplinary approach combining philosophical, cultural, and economic perspectives, it clarifies how literary and artistic property functions as an intangible asset — simultaneously embodying utility and value in cultural and economic terms. These categories are analysed both within the economic paradigm and through the lens of the creative process. The analysis builds on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, interpreting cultural consumption as a process of satisfying cognitive, social, emotional, and spiritual demands. On this basis, different levels of utility are defined — cognitive, social, and emotional-spiritual — as well as distinct levels of value — aesthetic, cultural, and cultural-historical. These dimensions reveal literature and the arts as forms of knowledge, means of social communication, and sources of spiritual experience. Literary and artistic property is presented as a specific form of intangible capital, whose value arises from the interaction between spiritual and socio-economic functions that fulfil diverse human needs. The proposed conceptual framework lays the foundation for future research focused on the economic assessment of creative products and on the determination of remuneration based on their utility and cultural significance.
