| Art: according to the traditional conception, art is a social sphere that is not directly focused on the maintenance of life functions. For this reason it opens up a certain freedom and possibility of knowledge. In the modern age, the idea of the evading of art has evolved in the face of a widespread through-organization of more and more areas of life. This development can lead to an ever-barred understanding ("hermetics"). See also aesthetics, works of art, critique, society, history, enlightenment, recognition._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Max Weber on Art - Dictionary of Arguments
Habermas III 229 Art/Max Weber/Habermas: Weber counts not only science, but also autonomous art among the manifestations of cultural rationalization. >Rationalization. The artistically stylized patterns of expression became independent with the conditions of art production, initially courtly patronage and later bourgeois-capitalist: "Art now constitutes itself as a cosmos of always consciously grasped independent intrinsic values."(1) >Artworks, >Artists, >Autonomy, >Value spheres. Habermas: Weber does not concentrate primarily on the art business and art critique, but on III 230 the effects of consciously capturing aesthetic intrinsic values for the techniques of art production. >Aesthetics, >Society. III 231 For Weber, however, the development of art plays as little of a role in the sociological explanation of social rationalization as the history of science. Art cannot even accelerate these processes like a science that has become productive. III 251 Progress/Art/Weber/Habermas: Weber emphasizes that "the use of a certain technique, however 'advanced', does not mean the least about the aesthetic value of the work of art.(2) >Technology, >Progress. 1.
