Vytautas Kavolis: moralė ir menas – priešnuodis demokratijos negalioms

Abstract

Straipsnis skirtas Amerikos lietuvių visuomenės ir mokslo veikėjo Vytauto Kavolio demokratijos koncepcijai aptarti. Teigiama, kad spręsdamas demokratijos prigimties klausimą, Kavolis laikosi nuostatos, jog demokratijos kaip institucijų ir procedūrų komplekso supratimas yra per siauras. Institucinę demokratijos sampratą jis papildo dviejų rūšių veiksniais – moralinėmis ir estetinėmis vertybėmis. Esą moralinės vertybės užtikrina tinkamą demokratinių institucijų funkcionavimą, o mene įkūnytos estetinės vertybės – emocinį demokratinių institucijų bei jas grindžiančių moralinių vertybių palaikymą. Be to, tarp reikšmingų demokratijos gyvybingumo sąlygų Kavolis nurodo ir jos gebėjimą efektyviai spręsti praktines socialinio gyvenimo problemas. Straipsnyje įrodinėjama, kad minėta demokratijos koncepcija suvaidina lemiamą vaidmenį Kavoliui plėtojant savo bendrąją politinę teoriją. Remdamasis ja, mąstytojas išskiria politinį ir kultūrinį liberalizmą. Reikšminiai žodžiai: Vytautas Kavolis; Lietuviškasis liberalizmas; Demokratija; Moralė; Politikos estetizacija; Vytautas Kavolis; Lithuanian liberalism; Democracy; Morality; Aesthetization of politics

Article deals with the Lithuanian–American liberal activist and scientist Vytautas Kavolis’ concept of democracy. It asserts that in approaching the nature of democracy, Kavolis is of opinion that the understanding of democracy as a complex of institutions and procedures is too narrow. First of all, he seeks to enlarge the procedural concept of democracy by two additional factors – democratic moral and aesthetic values. According to Kavolis, democratic moral values guarantee a proper functioning of the democratic political system. Meanwhile, the democratic aesthetic values embodied in artworks create psychological support for democratic institutions and moral values in personalities of citizens. In the view of Kavolis, also, an efficacy in solving practical problems of social life is an important condition of the vitality of the democratic political system. Finally, the article discusses what role the concept of democracy played in the development of Kavolis’ general political theory.
