Text author: Никола Дедић

The paper is trying to mark a moment in the Western intellectual history when the transformation of the notion of aesthetical occurred, i.e. the place where the notion of aesthetical has not been used any more in the context of art and traditional aesthetics but rather mass media society and culture analysis. Therefore the relation between John Cage’s music and Louis Althusser’s philosophy is analyzed for it brought about the turn from ontological toward constructionist characterizations of art, culture and society.
