Aesthetic Theories as a Background of the Artistic Tolerance

Abstract

<p><em>Artistic or creative activities appear in people’ everyday lives to any extent. They are especially important for personalities whose professional employment is in touch with art, for example teachers of music. Art is “the international language” of intercultural and historical communication between people and objects which lived before, live nowadays and will live in the future. Tolerance as a social phenomenon is present in each kind of interrelationship, consequently in art too. Therefore we attempt to justify the presence of tolerance in the artistic fields (music in particular). We call it an artistic tolerance and point out that it is relevant to any active creative processes. We are supported by the main ideas of aesthetic theories from the Antic till 18th century to find the relevance of artistic tolerance.<strong> </strong></em></p><p> </p>
