This paper proposes a certain approach to applying Peircean semiotic conceptions in order to better grasp the elusive nature of the aesthetic. Such a goal requires several steps which will be presented in the following order: First, a discussion of what is meant by the aesthetic in Kantian terms.

Second, a reinterpretation of this conception of the aesthetic in terms of Peircean semiotics. Third, a discussion of several similar attempts undertaken in the past by fellow semioticians, meant to show why I consider the one presented here worth pursuing.

Fourth, a short illustration of the fruitfulness of the presented approach in the realm of art criticism.
