Abstract

Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate influence of philosophical ideas on cultural expressions and artistic movements.

Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.

Findings: The influence of philosophical ideas on cultural expressions and artistic movements is profound and pervasive. Philosophical concepts often shape the way societies perceive reality and interpret the world around them. For example, the Enlightenment era, with its emphasis on reason and individualism, greatly influenced the development of modern Western art and literature, leading to the emergence of movements like Romanticism and Realism.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Cultural materialism theory, Cultural hegemony theory & Social constructivism theory may be used to anchor future studies influence of philosophical ideas on cultural expressions and artistic movements. Research findings can encourage international cultural exchange programs, enabling societies to learn from each other's philosophical perspectives and artistic expressions. Governments and cultural organizations can use research findings to inform policies aimed at preserving and promoting their cultural heritage.
