Abstract
The relevance of the article is due to the fact that in the expanding field of modern theory of knowledge, such a concept as "aesthetic gnoseology" finds its place, which is interpreted by the author of the article as a special field of cognitive activity, providing for a close connection between science, technology, engineering and philosophical aesthetics, which presupposes the perfection of sensuality, art, creative activity with a focus on beautiful thinking with images, what is necessary in scientific and technical activities. The discovery of scientific theories, the appearance of scientific works that arise with the exertion of the mind, feelings, and the burning of emotions, as well as in art, require aesthetic agreement of thoughts, harmony, perfection, and beauty. The methodology of aesthetic gnoseology is based on an anthroposocioecological approach that ensures the reliability of research on the relationship in the meta-system of science, technical engineering and art. This model of metasystem is increasingly finding a place in urban planning and the organization of large public spaces. The purpose of the article is to introduce the concept of aesthetic gnoseology into scientific usage. In the first part, "Introduction to aesthetic gnoseology", the task was to show that modern philosophical knowledge implements the continuity of aesthetics as a philosophical science of sensory cognition, born by A.G. Baumgarten. In the main part, devoted to "algorithmic aesthetics as a link between art and engineering," the article demonstrates the advancement of philosophical and gnoseology thought about the convergence and integration of science, art and technology, representing a single meta-system that has become the subject of aesthetic gnoseology, necessary in solving art projects carried out in the modern digital space. Attention is drawn, on the one hand, to the features of algorithmic aesthetics as the basic basis of digital art, and, on the other, to the connection of aesthetic experience with engineering, citing the genius of V.G. Shukhov as an example. In conclusion, the author emphasizes the value of Baumgarten aesthetics and the role of aesthetic epistemology in improving the sensory perception of the world and thought processes through the development of imaginative thinking, which is necessary both in art and engineering. As for aesthetics as a science, it has come a long way from Bamgarten's gnoseology aesthetics, then the philosophy of art, to a broad problematic aesthetic knowledge that takes place everywhere and includes aesthetic gnoseology. The very aestheticization of life in search of new harmonious ways of shaping requires the consent of thoughts and actions, order in qualitative, stable expression.
