Zielsetzung und Themenschwerpunkte (Objectives and Key Themes)

This paper introduces the Strata Model, a concept developed in the theory of art and literature by Nicolai Hartmann and Roman Ingarden, and examines its application to literary studies. The paper aims to clarify how the Strata Model can differentiate art ontologically from other objects, define different kinds of art, and explain key literary concepts like structure, genre, and value.

• The Strata Model as a tool for analyzing complex phenomena in literature
• Reconciling the theories of Hartmann and Ingarden on the Strata Model
• The application of the Strata Model to understand the ontological structure of various forms of art
• Differentiating "artistic values" from "aesthetic values" within the Strata Model
• Locating literary values within the Strata Model

Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)

Chapter I: The Strata Model introduces the concept of strata in literature, comparing it to geological strata and tracing its history from Plato to contemporary thinkers. The chapter emphasizes the pragmatic value of the Strata Model for literary analysis and its ability to provide insights into psychological and ontological aspects of literature.

Chapter II: Hartmann and Ingarden examines the work of Nicolai Hartmann and Roman Ingarden, two key figures who applied the Strata Model to aesthetic phenomena. The chapter highlights the similarities and differences in their approaches, particularly regarding the development of individual or comprehensive strata models for various forms of art.

Chapter III: Hartmann's Strata Model: A Reconstruction and an Application to Literature delves into Hartmann's Strata Model, focusing on its application to literature. This chapter explains how Hartmann's model distinguishes between different levels of existence in the world and how these levels are reflected in the work of art.

Chapter IV: How Can Art Be Differentiated Ontologically From Other Objects? explores the ontological distinction between art and other objects using the Strata Model. The chapter analyzes the unique characteristics of art objects in relation to their levels of existence.

Chapter V: How Can the Various Kinds of Art Be Defined Ontologically? examines how different art forms (e.g., music, painting, literature) can be defined and distinguished based on their ontological structures within the framework of the Strata Model.

Chapter VI: How Does the Strata Model Stand to Marxist Art Theory? discusses the relationship between the Strata Model and Marxist art theory. The chapter explores how societal factors and historical context are integrated within the Strata Model.

Chapter VII: How Can the Concepts of Structure, Genre, and Aristotle's Three Unities Be Explained in View of the Strata Model? examines how the Strata Model helps to explain key literary concepts such as structure, genre, and Aristotle's Three Unities. The chapter analyzes the interplay between the Strata Model and these fundamental literary concepts.

Chapter VIII: How Do "Artistic Values" Differ from "Aesthetic Values"? explores the distinction between "artistic values" and "aesthetic values" using the Strata Model. The chapter analyzes the role of these different value systems in the creation and reception of art.

Chapter IX: Where Can Literary Values Be Located Within the Strata Model? investigates the location of literary values within the Strata Model. This chapter examines the different levels of existence in art and how these levels relate to the concept of literary value.
