Ontological aspects of aesthetic experience (or four lines by R. M. Rilke)
The article analyzes the nature and ontological foundations of aesthetic experience through the prism of philoso-phy of Heraclitus and explication of his ideas in the works of Martin Heidegger. As a direct embodiment in artistic images the ontological determinants that are revealed (φυσις, πολεμος, λογος) the author analyzes the imagery of R. M. Rilke verse, which clearly demonstrates that aesthetic vision of the World is its vision as a certain expressive form.
