The aesthetic component of the revolution in the context of the aesthetics of history

The author of the article raises the question of the aesthetic content  of the real historical process. The article examines history as a dramatic space  of human development, as a locus and topos of the manifestation of his creative  abilities, as a process that can be studied and described in the categories of classical aesthetics. According to the author, the objective course of history  itself has aesthetic characteristics, which makes it possible to use the concepts  and categories of aesthetics in the study of historical events. The source of the  aesthetic fullness of a historical event is the creative nature of human activity in  general, the revolutionary impulse, heroic enthusiasm and creative potential of  mass popular movements. The phenomenon of social revolution is presented as  an event in which the aesthetic component of historical action is concentrated.  The global revolutionary social shifts of our time are largely achieved through  the selfless steps and inspired social creativity of popular movements, whose  participants, whether they realize it or not, are engaged in practical, often heroic,  transformation of an imperfect world and the creation of a new, more perfect  one, the harmony of which is revealed as constructive solvability contradictions.
