PEREIRA, Marcos Villela. Contributions to understand aesthetic experience. Rev. Lusófona de Educação [online]. 2011, n.18, pp.111-123. ISSN 1645-7250.

This article puts in question some views on art, artwork, aesthetic attitude and aesthetic experience in order to propose the exercise of aesthetic rationality extending subjective capacity to guide the perception and understanding regarding the infinite possibilities of existence. The aesthetic rationality for empower subjects to conceive not only worlds reduced at reference schemes, but from and about experience of presentification of being, the effects history and derealization establishments limits of traditional forms of rationality. I postulate the idea of aesthetic experience as an opportunity for expansion and disclosure of subjectivity in that it represents an opening to the collection of examples that are art and life. The aesthetic attitude is a selfless attitude, is an openness, a willingness not so much for the thing or event "in itself ", what he has consistency, but the effects it can produce.

Keywords : Aesthetics; experience; aesthetic experience; art; subjectivation.
