Resumo: In Lectures on Aesthetics (1938), comprised of notes taken by his students and later published as part of the work Lectures and Conversations on Aesthetics, Psychology and Religious Belief, Wittgenstein makes considerations about the aesthetic experience from the clarification of a concept in particular, the appreciation, which is fundamental for the understanding of this specific domain of the language he intends to investigate - the aesthetic language. It is in this context that two questions emerge made by his student Rush Rhees, particularly referring to Negro art, that reveal opportune occasion to add, in the aesthetic discussion, the problem of prejudice that can exist in the way in which the subject appreciates the artistic production of cultures different from his own. Thus, as a result of the reflection on the concept of aesthetic appreciation, which implies the need to take account the rules of the context of the work of art in order to make a more accurate aesthetic judgment, Wittgenstein responds to Rhees by raising a series of elements that allow to reflect on the issue of prejudices that are felt including in the field of aesthetics. With this, from the Wittgensteinian thought, the possibility of sketching an answer to a theme still latent in society is identified, as it proposes to dispel prejudices and overcome the narrowness of spirit that is behind misrepresented conceptions about others cultures, with the aim of allowing, in turn, to contemplate the differences in perspectives and the wealth they represent, in favor of the exercise of respect and tolerance with regard to cultural diversity.

É nesse contexto que emergem duas perguntas feitas por seu aluno Rush Rhees que, referindo-se especificamente à arte negra, revelam-se ocasião oportuna para incluir, no debate estético, o problema do preconceito que pode existir na maneira com a qual o sujeito aprecia a produção artística de culturas diferentes da sua. Assim, como desdobramento da reflexão sobre o conceito de apreciação estética, que implica a necessidade de se levar em conta as regras do contexto da obra de arte para se emitir um juízo estético mais apurado, Wittgenstein responde a Rhees com o levantamento de uma série de elementos que permitem refletir sobre a questão do preconceito que acompanha, inclusive, o campo da estética. Com isso, a partir do pensamento wittgensteiniano, identifica-se a possibilidade de se esboçar uma resposta para um tema ainda latente na sociedade, à medida que propõe afastar preconceitos e superar a estreiteza de espírito que está por trás de concepções deturpadas a respeito de outras culturas, com o escopo de permitir, por sua vez, contemplar as diferenças de perspectivas e a riqueza que elas representam, em favor do exercício do respeito e da tolerância no que se refere à diversidade cultural.Universidade Estadual De Maringá2020-12-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://www.periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/ActaSciHumanSocSci/article/view/5573110.4025/actascihumansoc.v42i3.55731Acta Scientiarum.
