МУНКОВ „КРИК“ У СВЕТЛУ ФИЛОЗОФИЈЕ ЕГЗИСТЕНЦИЈЕ
MUNCH’S SCREAM IN THE LIGHT OF EXISTENTIAL PHILOSOPHY

Summary/Abstract: To show that art does not fall short in comparison with philosophy regarding the truth content, the author analyses Munch’s masterpiece The Scream. Using the fundamental concepts of the existential philosophy, the author demonstrates that The Scream suggestively shows the metaphysical homelessness of modern man. Loneliness and anxiety of a man deprived of meaning, aware of his mortality, lead to the scream which is the same time a protest against the impersonal world and a cry for help. Although it primarily expresses the existential crisis of modern man, The Scream also testifies about the universal human condition, about the relation between absurd and meaning. The crisis is not only a danger but also a chance. Only one who has intensely experienced the absurd is able to establish one’s own existential meaning.
