Abstract
Lukacs brought out "Die Eigenart des Asthetischen" in 1963 which is his first part of his aesthetic system. His main purpose in this book is to explain theoretically "die Eingenart des Asthetischen" in the basis of imitation-theory which is derived from Marxian epistemology. In order to make clear the activity and creativity of the subject which not only imitates the outer world, but also creates and imagines the world of his own, and to establish the mutual relationship between the subject and the objective reality, Lukacs takes the new method qualitatively, that is, the method which has two standpoints, "von aussen" and "von innen". He says that the imitative expression is filled with the atmosphere of "Gefuhlsevokation". Not only the precise imitation, but this atmosphere of "Evokation" make possible the natural growing of the aesthetic. But aesthetic world is a world of human being which is created by the conscious human activity. Lukacs hypothesizes the existence of the 1′ signal system which stands between the fisrt and the second signal system of Pawlow. Thus he hypothesizes the response system of direct response-fantasy (Evokation)-thought. With this response system, he is going to explain the basis of aesthetic world.
