The main features of Zubiri’s philosophy —strictly grounded in metaphysics— are described to illustrate his contribution to Aesthetics. This base on metaphysics allows avoiding an hermeneutic reductionism of Aesthetics, as it happens —according to the author— with other current proposals. Furthermore, Zubiri’s proposition to refer to the aesthetic as a transcendental faculty —such as the «affecting feeling»— enables escaping from intellectualism and rescuing the autonomy of the aesthetic dimension of reality without reducing it to the good or the neutral being. This proposal is an alternative to Max Scheler’s theory that, nevertheless, takes on again the transcendental structure of reality like it happened within Western metaphysical tradition.https://revistas.comillas.edu/index.php/pensamiento/article/view/12209historia de la estéticaxavier zubiridimensión estética de la realidadsentimiento estéticomax scheler |
