It is in the current capitalist conjuncture that a progressive impoverishment of the daily situation takes place, which reflects on the development of humanity, affecting social fields and setting in motion a cultural degeneration that reverberates in the educational and aesthetic reflex. We demonstrate that this context provides a decay in the aesthetic formation and production of art, understood as a process of education in the broad sense. The elaborations of Lukács (1982) demonstrate that with Dialectical materialism it was possible for aesthetes to understand the theory of reflex and the social determinations of art, exposing the complex relationship of reciprocity between the social conjuncture, conceptions of the world and historical production of art, demonstrating that social determinations are decisive for the development, advancement or regression of any social complex. We outline the foundations of essential aesthetic knowledge, which will sustain our more extensive later analyzes of the progressive decline of culture and, consequently, of art. Therefore, the main purpose of our debate is to expose the studies on the aesthetic foundations of Lukács (1982), the general laws that set the nature of aesthetics and the critical examination of the decadence of education and art.
