TWO SOURCES OF MEANINGFUL LIFE: AESTHETICS AND ETHICS.

In this paper, we analyse two alternative approaches to the question of a meaningful life in contemporary philosophy: the aesthetic and the ethical.

        In this paper, we analyse two alternative approaches to the question of a meaningful life in contemporary philosophy: the aesthetic and the ethical. First, we examine Michel Foucault's aesthetic approach whereby he argues in favour of understanding life as a work of art. Here aesthetics is understood as a constant search for the new, as innovation, and discontinuity. Next we examine the ethical approach found in contemporary neo-Aristotelianism developed by Alasdair MacIntyre. The ethical approach is presented as a direct critique of Nietzcheanism and aims to reconstruct the ethical subject in terms of unity, continuity, and the good. By examining the relation between the two positions, we argue for the importance of neo-Aristotelian ethics in the postmodern condition.
        Šiame straipsnyje analizuojami du skirtingi požiūriai į prasmingo gyvenimo klausimą šiuolaikinėje filosofijoje: estetinis ir etinis. Pirma, aptariamas Michelio Foucault estetinis požiūris, kuriuo remdamasis jis siūlo gyvenimą suvokti kaip meno kūrinį. Estetinis požiūris čia suprantamas kaip nuolatinė naujumo, inovacijos, pertrūkio paieška. Toliau aptariamas etinis požiūris Alasdairo MacIntyre'o išplėtotoje šiuolaikinėje neo-aristotelinėje filosofijoje. Etinis požiūris pristatomas kaip tiesioginė nyčiškos filosofijos kritika, siekianti rekonstruoti etinį subjektą per vientisumo, tęstinumo ir gėrio sampratas. Aptariant abu požiūrius, straipsnyje argumentuojama neo-aristotelinės etikos svarba postmoderniajame būvyje.
