Description of the research topic:

One of the crucial questions of art pertaining to content is weather aesthetics and ethics are simultaneously present in it, and weather morality is an immanent subject of art. Does morality constitute an inherent part of art, does art have an ethical role, or does the moral content come only from the outside world? Is there an artwork that cannot be evaluated ethically or is every artifact simultaneously the embodiment of ethics? Can morality be explained within the framework of aesthetics? Does aesthetic value always include (or create) moral value at the same time?
These questions can be traced back to the fundamental moral questions of religions: How is the choice or constraint of original sin or sinlessness constituted, how does suffering become the source of remorse? How does theory stigmatize otherness, and how does religious morality metaphorise, how are artifacts created based on the literary-ethical metaphors of narrative Biblical texts?
