The aesthetic paradigm of Félix Guattari

Abstract

The objective of this text is to address the singularity of what the thinker Felix Guattari called the "aesthetic paradigm." Sometimes also called an ethical-aesthetic or political-aesthetic paradigm, it pretends to function as a proposition, rather than a proposal, to raise in the most diverse areas, fields and practices the problematic of ethical creation and political re-creation, both inseparable. Thus, it is necessary to investigate what is meant by "aesthetics", what is art and who is the artist of this paradigm. What are the motivations, the landscapes and the conditions of the issues that led Guattari to formulate this idea of a paradigm capable, from art, through ethics, to instituting a new way of thinking politics and to think politically.
