Sustainability of psychical distance

Abstract

In my speach I would like to focus on the possibility or sustainability of psychic distance as a founding factor of an aesthetic perception and aesthetic experience. The field of aesthetic experience is traditionally based on the indifference of aesthetic attitude.

Nevertheless, this Kantian conception is frequently exposed to many critiques and reinterpretation. For me, the most inspirational version of "postkantian" attempts is Edward Bullough's essay Psychical distance as a factor in art and aesthetical principle.
