IDEA CZŁOWIEKA I BÓSTWA W STAROŻYTNOŚCI CZĘŚĆ II: An idea of man as a metaphysical figure in Greek Classical art
Journal Title: Miscellanea Anthropologica et Sociologica - Year 2014, Vol 15, Issue 4
Abstract
The article deals with the problem of representation in Greek Classical art. The authoranalyses the idea of man from the perspective of the Greek natural tendency to representvarious phenomena in the form of human figure. The notion of idea of man as a metaphysicalfigure shall be, however, understood not only as a psychisation of the image butbroadly as the element of the process of antropomorphisation of the surrounding realityas well as giving human form to various phenomena including transcendent ones, e.g.the antropomorphisation of the images of gods. In case of the Greek image, an idea ofman understood as a metaphysical figure reveals a man his being through the constantlyundertaken attempt to appear fulfilment. Simultaneously, in the world of senses, this fulfilmententails the dissolution of the metaphysical secret.
