The Dialectic of Language and Aesthetics in Contemporary Cultural Discourse: A Digital Analysis

Abstract

This study examines the interrelation of language, aesthetics, and social transformation, challenging the conventional perspective that positions language as a secondary factor. The methodology employed is innovative, integrating quantitative text analysis of a corpus of three philosophical and socio-critical essays by the author— addressing themes of language, aesthetics, and social change—with qualitative philosophical inquiry. The findings disclose a multidimensional relational structure in which Aesthetics is not merely instrumental to social and political transformation but constitutes the very locus where political and linguistic contestation unfolds. The argument advanced is that Language functions at the rational–conscious level, while Aesthetics operates at the affective–preconscious level, jointly shaping the conditions under which social change becomes possible.
