Widok (?) z ziarnkiem piasku. Estetyczność, etyczność, wspólnotowość, czyli zapiski o kulturze tworzenia przestrzeni wspólnej

The transformations of the contemporary world force us to rethink the traditional notions and concepts which have been perceived as the pillars of so-called Western world view and a new evaluation of complex relations of the spheres of reality which Western traditions tend to present as separate. Among them reside the visions of the ethical and the aesthetical, and the rapidly changing idea of the commons. Contemporary discourses developing relative models of reality accentuate mutual conditioning of what is labeled the ethical and the aesthetical as operating in the common space of our everyday experience and crucial for the community-making processes. The article is an attempt to delineate these relations projecting them into social space of a ‘small city’ as having a particular potential of creating a communal space.
