Jacques Ranciere's Idea on Art & Philosophy

Rancière's idea about art, politics and philosply was of a critical idea. He believed in obliterating the difference between arts a politics.

His most for reaching attempt to do the aforementioned was by giving empirical content to (real happenings, in the world) to the idea of aesthetic art. This can be further understood by knowing the shift in writing (describing things of nature) by poets and writers, especially romantic poets and writers. They all aroused the writing about development, love, change in the world order (after world wars) and how humans are caring and nurturing. Some prime examples are:- Rabindranath Tagore, Jaun Elia, Victor Hugo, Kazi Nazrul Islam, Mahadevi verma, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Blake, John Keats, Charlatte Smith, , Hannah More.

Tagore, as a major example, write Gutanjali a collection of 104 proses which had poems narrating & about materialistic possessions and spiritual longing & one of his most praised work, EKLA CHOLO RE, noted that one should have their own back when they are faced by the abandowment & the world.

Now, it is of vital to know analyse, if writers like Tagore could have written what they wrote, if the political scenario of India had not been stable or stabilizing at that time.

For instance, an artist from the a war torn country would not romanticise life, he would only write about the mercy from God, Allah, Bhagwaan, Guru, on him and on his country's people and that would show up in his work. Eg: Hiroshima by John Hersey, A farewell to Alims by Ernest Hemingway.

Another big thought Ranciere highlighted was the Human beings are forms of art. Everything we see around ourselves has the art component of human beings, eg: the modern washrooms have a more aesthetically designed commode for just humans to use it for defecating, & wash- basins are outboards for many manufactures as they apply Gothic, Cyberpunk designs on WASH BASINS !!!

And then,  we deny being art-ful and climb the stairs of hypocrisy when we talk about topics of Kamasutra. Sex is still a stigma to talk about in many culture-dominated households. But the same people go to the temples, where sexual positions are (publicly) worked upon in stone. People call it art! Rancière aimed at demotishang this hyphocrisy and strengthens the link that politics is out.
