About decadent and true avant-gardism. [On the pages of the magazine "Merkur"].

One of the most solid Western publications, which represents the new trends in bourgeois literature, in bourgeois aesthetic and philosophical thought, is the magazine "Merkur" published in Stuttgart, the Federal Republic of Germany. In it we will find articles and materials on all those issues that are currently being discussed and speculated on in the West, and attempts are being made to somehow renew the well-known and already outdated idealistic theories. In art, the positions of the so-called avant-garde are especially discussed. The concept of "avant-gardism" has acquired such a broad meaning in the articles of Western authors that they interpret it and turn it into a platform for the most diverse points of view.
