A rigorous work of aesthetic theory and philosophy of art, this volume presents the foundational arguments of Soviet philosopher Yevgeny Basin, who argues that semiotics and semantic analysis are indispensable tools for understanding artistic creation and aesthetic experience. Basin details how signs, symbols, and meaning-making processes operate within art, constructing a systematic framework that bridges linguistic philosophy and aesthetics. Written in a scholarly yet methodical tone, the text instructs readers in the application of semiotic categories to visual, literary, and performing arts, illustrating how semantic structures underpin artistic communication across cultures and historical periods. The work stands as a significant contribution to Marxist-influenced aesthetic philosophy, situating art within broader theories of language, cognition, and human expression.
