Between aesthetics categories: the beautiful, sublime, tragic, comic, heroic, ugly - there is subordination, the beautiful and the sublime are the categories reflecting aesthetic characteristics of Nature and Man, and the tragic and the comic are the categories that reflect the social processes. The Beautiful is embodied in ideal. Ideal is historically specific, sensual representation about the right as the beautiful in art. Ideal influences aesthetical taste . Aesthetical taste is the mechanism of aesthetic perception in which there are criteria of beauty, harmony, integrity and expressiveness of the form. Through aesthetic perception the subjective sense of joy and pleasure appeared as a result of emotional reaction on the objective expressive forms of natural and social reality that is estimated and experienced accordingly to individual sense of beauty.

12) What is literary artistic work? Form and content of a literary work.
Literary artistic work is a systematic unity of its elements in their interrelations and interdependences. All elements of the literary artistic work are complete unity. The need for division of this unity is dictated by the peculiarities of the analysis of literary works, for its understanding and interpretation but such division is conditional. In the primary analysis of a literary work its content and form are separated. The separation is relative. The elements of a literary work make the system's hierarchy. The basis of a literary work content is a reflection of reality. Author's attitude to the depicted (system of evaluation, rational and emotional ones, certain correlation to an ideal) is an organic part of the content. Correspondence between the form and content is a necessary condition of artistic literature. Richness, originality and expressiveness of the artistic form is an essential condition of literary work quality, a sign of mastery of the writer. The initial element of the form of a literary work - is a word. A form is an artistic imagery. A form is an expression of different levels of artistic structure. An art form is hardened artistic content. The problem of content-ness of literary form is in transition of content into a form and a form into content.
