In the book the author discusses historical demise of modernism. He analyzes (1) avant-garde art, (2) aesthetics, and (3) thesis about the end of art. In part one he interprets avant-gardes as the extreme form of modernism and proposes the idea about three generations of avant-gardes that stretch from classical to the third-generation avant-gardes. In part two the author discusses conceptual issues of aesthetics that range from its transformations in the age of globalism to aesthetics as philosophy of art. In part three the author writes about the decline of modernist art.

The author first points to an absence of a common point of identification of Eastern Europe. Rancière’s notions of “voice” and “speech” are introduced, with “speech” being proposed as a precondition for subjectivization and political representation. The author then focusses on the import of Eastern European art in recent processes of subjectivization and representation of the region’s constitutive parts. This special position of art in the region diminished with the historical development which no longer necessitated such an extraordinary place of art in the former East Europe.

The aim of the book is to draw some implications from the thesis according to which there are two revolutions in the way of thinking at work in Kant’s philosophy. The result of the twofold “Copernican turn” in the Critique of Judgment is a new figure of the subject and the object that puts into question the correlation between the subject and the object as the crucial feature of Kant’s philosophy. At the same time, it introduces a radically novel concept of the relationship between the singular and the universal. ARRS recognised the book as an exceptional achievement of Slovenian science in 2012.

The study begins with Kant's four definitions of the beautiful from the Critique of Judgement. Kant's basic operation in these definitions consists in what one might call essential subtraction: in each of the definitions Kant deprives the first notion exactly of that which is considered to be its essential characterization (e.g. beauty is “purposiveness without purpose”). Pursuing this topology of essential subtraction the study explores its role in the process of creation, relating the latter to Lacan’s theory of sublimation and the matrix of the three great sublimations – religion, art, science.
