The book is a kind of continuation and development of the monograph "Trialogue: Living Aesthetics and the Modern Philosophy of Art" (M.: Progress-Tradition, 2012), but at the same time a completely self-sufficient, structurally and methodologically different work from it. Along with the discussion of authors on many topical issues of modern philosophy of art, aesthetics, cultural studies, the book includes an extensive block of responses of famous humanities researchers to the large "Trialogue" (2012), many of which actively enter into theoretical discussion with authors on one or another significant for modern humanitarian science problems.
