Features of the ontological approach to art in philosophy

Abstract

This article examines art from an ontological perspective. Classical and contemporary philosophical conceptsthat explain the essence of art, its significance, and its role in human life were considered. The author ex-plored art not merely as an aesthetic phenomenon but as a fundamental manifestation of human existence.The interrelation between art and reality, the existential and metaphysical dimensions of artistic creativity, aswell as the epistemological, axiological, and communicative aspects of art, were analyzed. The articlediscussed the ideas of thinkers such as Plato, Aristotle, Heidegger, and Gadamer regarding the ontologicalfoundations of art and offers new perspectives on its existential significance. At the present stage, thereconsideration of the ontological meaning of art has become an urgent issue. Is art merely a reflection ofreality, or does it shape reality itself? What is its relation to being? These questions occupy an essential placein philosophical discourse. Particularly in the postmodern era, the relationship between art and reality hasbecome even more complex. This article conducts an ontological analysis of art, examining its relation tobeing and truth. Additionally, the ontological foundations of art are explored within the context ofKazakhstani philosophy and culture
