La experiencia estética de la vida fáctica

Abstract

The present text seeks to elucidate the way in which factual and everyday life can constitute an aesthetic experience. To this end, the first section is devoted to a general exposition of the birth of aesthetics and the relationship that this philosophical discipline has with art and beauty. Subsequently, the concept of experience is analyzed starting with Martin Heidegger and the implications that the influence of the modern tradition has had. After that, it delves into the aesthetic experience that occurs within factual life and, finally, the relationship between aesthetic experience and art and the way in which art has been distanced from the vital processes of human existence. The objective is to demonstrate that the aesthetic experience traverses our being-in-the-world, and, in this sense, factual life is already an aesthetic way of inhabiting the world, just as art reflects life.
