According tohumanist theories, only the meanings and values derived fromhistory and culture can be attributed to art. Recently a disciplineknown as neuroaesthetics has risen to the fore from among thevarious disciplines that use non-humanitarian methods to approachthe subject of aesthetics. Triggered by the invention of varioustechnological devices (EEG, fMRI, PET), neuroaesthetics is nowbeing used to tackle the role of the brain in the processes of creation,reception and even thinking about arts.When introducing new perspectives, such as neuroaesthetics, it isimportant to acknowledge the limitations of the different methods.A narrow reductional approach to art and the brain clearly does notsuffice – a satisfactory explanation must also involve non-physicalfactors, such as knowledge about the history of art. On the otherhand, as with any theoretical approach, the explanatory capacityof neuroaesthetics varies when applied to different kinds of art.Neuroaesthetic theories tend to stress the visual, mimetic andemotional nature of art, often associating artistic features with theactivity of the visual brain as well as evolutionary psychology.Instead of stressing historic and local differences and culturalexceptions, researchers with a natural sciences background tend to search for the universal qualities of art. This appears to beirreconcilable with the institutional theory of art that implicitlyunderlies the entire contemporary paradigm of art. It can be assumedthat some of the reasoning behind the sceptical attitude shared bymost mainstream humanitarian discourse is hidden in this conflict.It can even be claimed that, under the banner of institutionalist ideas,the art of the modernist period constituted a systematic negation ofthe conditions of art prescribed by the universal qualities of art basedon the laws of the brain. Therefore, one of the challenges in this earlyphase of the biologically and psychologically based analysis of artshould be to shed light on this inherent and ideological bias that isdeeply rooted in the humanistic discourse of arts.","PeriodicalId":52089,"journal":{"name":"Baltic Journal of Art History","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2019-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.12697/bjah.2019.17.06","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42600735","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The great German philosopher suggested that the Tsar open universities in several cities, that is, in Moscow, St Petersburg, Astrakhan and Kiev, to include the important regions of the vast territory of Russian Empire1. One year before his death, on the 12 January 1724, Peter the Great founded the Academy of Sciences in St Petersburg, which should have included a university. But, actually, the latter did not operate properly. It was not until the mid-18th century, at the very beginning of the Enlightenment in Russia, that the first university was founded in Moscow. It was established at the initiative of, and according to the programme of, two prominent figures in Russian history – the scientist Mikhail Lomonosov and statesman Count Ivan Shuvalov, who both undoubtedly had the models of European universities in mind.

The emergence of the universities in Russia is related to the country’s cultural orientation on the values of European civilisation. Established by the supreme power, the university concept was first seen as an instrument for the Europeanisation of the population. It was an educational project supported entirely by the state and aimed at the upbringing of a new type of imperial subject who would think in the European way. In the 19th century, German universities served as the model for Russian schools of higher education after the reform of the University of Göttingen, and thereafter based on the development of the so-called classic university modelled on Humboldt’s concept.1 Russian universities should ‘do their best to make sure Russian science is on a par with the science in other","PeriodicalId":52089,"journal":{"name":"Baltic Journal of Art History","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2018-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66669788","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
