Heidegger believed that the essence of Art is the manifestation of unconcealment and he believed that what makes possible Art as Genuine Art is the essence of Art. He believed that Art in ancient Greece was linked to the realization of unconcealment and possessed by the possibility of existence, but with the onset of the metaphysical age and over several stages, its connection with its essence has been disrupted and strayed from the possibility of existence. In other words, Heidegger considers the separation of Art from its essence, not suddenly, but slowly and gradually. This process began from Mimesis in Plato’s and Aristotelian ideas and continued to the concept of Aesthetics Experience in the early modern era. But he attributes the complete separation of Art from its essence to the later era of the modern age, a period when art has diminished to Artistic Occupations and has found itself as Technic. In his view, driving art into the realm of Technic has caused that genuine art departs from the possibility of existence.

Adorno's conception about the roles that art can play in various areas of human's life is absolutely different from the dogmatic thoughts of the traditional culture and philosophy. According to Adorno, the most important function of art consists in its "critical" approach and "redemptionary" character for analyzing and criticizing the structures of domination and suppression in the society. Hence, Adorno's emphasis on the critical theory of art and its role in transforming social consciousness relies on what he calls the "truth content" of art and artwork. Adorno's main motivation for questioning the relation of "art" and "truth" goes back to the social role of art and the epistemological function it would have. In this paper, some of Adorno's central ideas and notions, regarding the "truth content" theme, especially in his Aesthetic Theory will be discussed.

East theosophy and west philosophy have some foundatumental topics in common. One of these topics is the unity of existence which is one of the main subjects in Upanishads and appears frequently in Greek philosophy, especially the views of thinkers like Anaxagoras, Plato and Plotinus. Hindu thinkers and Greek philosophers have much in common in the subject of Art and Beauty. The prevailing idea of Mimesis as the essence and nature of Art in views of philosophers like Plato, Aristocrats and in particular, Plotinus appears in Hindu theosophy as the Sadrsya. Likewise, the Sadrsya means resemblance and mimic but the one which concerns heavenly images and upon which rely asceticism, worshiping and particularly, Yoga. This particular approach is largely connected with Plotinus’ ideas in Enneads. He regards Art as the mimic of the sensible images and represents moral and spiritual methods for realizing it. This paper is a comparative study of the views of Ananda Koomara Swamy in explaining and interpreting the theory of Sadrsya and that of the Plotinus regarding Art and the spiritual divine nature of it.
