Abstract
The monograph deals with the aesthetic conceptions of Emmanuel Levinas, Jean-François Lyotard and Gilles Deleuze&Félix Guattari. Despite of different starting points of these authors, the author of the monograph finds several moments of convergence in their conceptions.
With the help of the ideas of these authors, the author shows the nature of aesthetic event as sensuous, as ‘aisthesis’. The author employs the term ‘aesthetic event’, because he shows ‘aesthesis’ as an action and process.
However, the author argues that no objects or subjects are involved in this process. Aesthetic event is thus an action, which is without active agents; it is a process, which cannot be experienced as objective.
