Kultur und Ästhetik in der kulturellen Moderne

The central theme of this work is on the one hand the "disintegration of unity" and on the other hand the "unfolding of multiplicity". Cultural modernity wanted to legitimize all human knowledge with the help of 'grand narratives' and combine it into a unit. To this end, she has produced three meta-narratives. At the beginning of the 20th century, however, artists, writers, and philosophers began to doubt and dispute the 'unity of knowledge'. Ultimately, their assessments have meant that today we can no longer seriously believe in the relevance of terms such as 'totality'. So today we are trying to bring unity and multiplicity into a relationship of cultural mediation.
