Abstract


The purpose of this article is to discuss the possibility and task of aesthetics under the phenomenological point of view. I focus on architecture and analyse its stratified structure, according to Roman Ingarden’s analysis, and the specific character of the aesthetic attitude against other attitudes that architecture also demands, according to the observations of Paul Valéry. I finally raise the central question about the possibility of the understanding art in general and architecture in particular, comparing phenomenological aesthetics and aesthetics of negativity.
