В статье раскрыта актуальность проблемы эстетического воспитания в трудах П. П. Блонского, отмечена значимость его педагогических идей для современной системы образования, обращено внимание на то, что значительное влияние на понимание ученым красоты оказала его семья. Показано, как П. П. Блонский оценивал способность к восприятию и оценке эстетических явлений и предметов у ребенка в разном возрасте. По его мнению, возможность определить красивое у детей появляется в период старшего дошкольного и младшего школьного возраста. У подростков эстетическое отношение сильно сливается с половым влечением и появляется восхищение красотой природы. В юношеский период морально-эстетические установки могут выступать, по мнению исследователя, в качестве защитных механизмов личности в ситуациях межличностной неопределенности для индивида. Описаны средства, которые предлагал использовать П. П. Блонский в целях эстетического воспитания школьников. Рассмотрены методы, предложенные ученым и имеющие ценность для развития эстетического потенциала современного школьника. Среди них наиболее интересным может считаться эстетическое воспитание учащихся на основе идей национального фольклора и искусства. Ученый исходил из того, что при социализации детей необходимо полагаться на старинное художественное творчество, поскольку оно ближе к народу. В этом основа генетического метода в воспитании, при котором ребенок на всю жизнь сливается с историей родной культуры. Он считал, что процесс воспитания будет более эффективным, если имеет двухсторонний характер: воспитательные воздействия и собственная активность школьника. Рассмотренные в статье методы, предложенные П. П. Блонским, с использованием современных технологий могут значительно расширить эстетический потенциал школьников. The article highlights the relevance of the issue of aesthetic education in P. P. Blonsky’s works. It underlines the importance of his pedagogical ideas for modern educational system. The article highlights that the scholar’s idea of aestheticism was largely shaped under the influence of his family. The article explains how P. P. Blonsky assessed young children’s ability to perceive and appreciate the beauty of objects and phenomena. According to the scholar, senior preschool children and primary-school children can fully perceive beauty. Adolescents, whose aesthetic experience is largely interconnected with sexual attraction, start admiring the beauty of nature. During the period of adolescence, moral and aesthetic guidelines often function as protective mechanisms in cases of uncertainty in interpersonal relationships. The article describes methods and tools P. P. Blonsky proposed to use in order to promote schoolchildren’s aesthetic education. The article focuses on methods and tools that can be used to develop the aesthetic potential of modern schoolchildren. One of such methods is aesthetic education of students through national folklore and art, which is exceptionally interesting and appealing. P. P. Blonsky maintains that children’s socialization is most successful if it relies on folk art and folk traditions, which is the principle of the genetic method of education and ensures children’s involvement with their native culture. The scholar believes that the process of education is more efficient if students’ innate desire to learn is accompanied by external support provided by teachers. The authors maintain that by combining P. P. Blonsky’s methods discussed in the article and modern information technologies, we can largely improve students’ aesthetic potential.

This article examines the game Papers, Please to demonstrate how the aesthetic experience of gameplay resonates with the cultural logic of contemporary globalist paradigms. The author demonstrates how video games make their players undertake a synthesis of work and play via a process of psychological and physical self-modification. This interrelation between work, play, and subjectivity modification within gameplay experiences embodies the same ideological framework that governs many knowledge-based economies which thrive off of user-generated content. In using the work/play/subjectivity connection to locate similarities between video games and the logic of globalist paradigms, the author presents a revised understanding of what constitutes the political dimensions of video games and the experiences they elicit in their players. This article concludes with an analysis of how the mechanics and narrative of Papers, Please embodies the cultural mind-set of work-as-play while simultaneously challenging the discourses often applied to user-focused information technologies.

The paper focuses on the aspects of aesthetic education and aesthetic experience of music under the conditions of online teaching of music due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The new mode of teaching affected the teaching process, particularly in the field of performance arts which involves direct experiencing of music, stage performances and direct cooperation of musicians. Aside from certain advantages, mostly regarding the organization of teaching and more time for practice, the results show that students were for the most part deprived of a comprehensive experience of music during the teaching process, and particularly of a specific aesthetic experience. A general conclusion is drawn that direct contact between the student and the professor in face-to-face teaching practice is an irreplaceable segment of music education.

Oriented by the theoretical perspective of philosophical hermeneutics, this text addresses the ethical and aesthetic dimension of education, and it has the arts teaching as a reflexive field, emphasizing the artistic experience as a possibility for knowledge and self-awareness beyond the instrumental rationality frameworks. I emphasize, therefore, the artistic experience as an opportunity of (re) approximation among the student, the work and the artist as a way of self-investigation in the field of authorship, with reference to the experimentation of the artistic game and the tensions of the creative process. This creative process triggers a dialogue, which would be in the basis of ethics, since the moral action would be based in the process of co-creation of the aesthetic experience in relation to the work of art.

Contributing to the debate for a democratic articulation of the urban environment, this paper focuses on the reinterpretation of the relation between thinking and perception in Kant's Second Moment of the Analytic of the Beautiful, by Jacques Rancière. Rancière argues that the dissensual operation implied in Kant's definition of the beautiful involves a superimposition that transforms the given form or body to a new one. Social emancipation for Rancière becomes an aesthetic matter, a matter of dismemberment of a body animated by a particular belief. When the loss of destination implicit in aesthetic experience, as explained by Rancière, disrupts the way in which bodies fit their functions in a social order, then a political effect is produced. The aesthetic effect presupposes dis-identification. Within the aesthetic community, political subjectivisation is based on a dis-identification process. Furthermore, reconsideration of modernity for Rancière means going back to Schiller's idea of the aesthetic education of man which originated in Kant's Analytic of the Beautiful. We can argue with reference to an architecture of dissensus that through a process of dislocation, dismemberment and dis-identification, tradition opens up to a constant transformation to something new, involved in a never-ending play between totally different layers that make up everyday experience.

This chapter argues for the importance of cultivating aesthetic literacy and vigilance, as well as practicing aesthetic expressions of moral virtues. In light of the considerable power of the aesthetic to affect, sometimes determine, people’s choices, decisions, and actions in daily life, everyday aesthetics discourse has a social responsibility to guide its power toward enriching personal life, facilitating respectful and satisfying interpersonal relationships, creating a civil and humane society, and ensuring the sustainable future. As an aesthetics discourse, its distinct domain unencumbered by these life concerns needs to be protected. At the same time, denying or ignoring the connection with them decontextualizes and marginalizes aesthetics. Aesthetics is an indispensable instrument for assessing and improving the quality of life and the state of the world, and it behooves everyday aesthetics discourse to reclaim its rightful place and to actively engage with the world-making project.

Schopenhauer explores the paradoxical nature of the aesthetic experience of the sublime in a richer way than his predecessors did by rightfully emphasizing the prominent role of the aesthetic object and the ultimately affirmative character of the pleasurable experience it offers. Unlike Kant, Schopenhauer’s doctrine of the sublime does not appeal to the superiority of human reason over nature but affirms the ultimately “superhuman” unity of the world, of which the human being is merely a puny fragment. The author focuses on Schopenhauer’s treatment of the experience of the sublime in nature and argues that Schopenhauer makes two distinct attempts to resolve the paradox of the sublime and that Schopenhauer’s second attempt, which has been neglected in the literature, establishes the sublime as a viable aesthetic concept with profound significance.

This study investigated the relationship among tourists’ perceived sustainability, aesthetic experience, and behavioral intention toward reused heritage buildings by employing stimulus–organism–response theory. There were 354 valid questionnaires collected from the Sputnik Lab in Tainan, Taiwan. A positive correlation was found between tourists’ perception of sustainability and aesthetic experience. When tourists perceived higher aesthetic experience, they also had stronger behavioral intention. Structural equation modeling analysis verified that the aesthetic experience of tourists had mediating effects between perceived sustainability and behavioral intention in the reused heritage space. The reuse of space should be attached significantly to the aesthetic display of space and service so as to promote such scenic spots and increase tourists’ intention to revisit through word of mouth.

There is evidence that greater aesthetic experience can be linked to artworks when their corresponding meanings can be successfully inferred and understood. Modern cultural-expo architecture can be considered a form of artistic creation and design, and the corresponding design philosophy may be derived from representational objects or abstract social meanings. The present study investigates whether cultural-expo architecture with an easy-to-understand architectural appearance design is perceived as more beautiful and how architectural photographs and different types of descriptions of architectural appearance designs interact and produce higher aesthetic evaluations. The results showed an obvious aesthetic preference for cultural-expo architecture with an easy-to-understand architectural appearance design (Experiment 1). Moreover, we found that the aesthetic rating score of architectural photographs accompanied by an abstract description was significantly higher than that of those accompanied by a representational description only under the difficult-to-understand design condition (Experiment 2). The results indicated that people preferred cultural-expo architecture with an easy-to-understand architectural appearance design due to a greater understanding of the design, providing further evidence that abstract descriptions can provide supplementary information and explanation to enhance the sense of beauty of abstract cultural-expo architecture.
