Ontologically significant landmarks in aesthetic research within contemporary philosophical discourse

The aim of this study is to determine trends in revealing the ontological foundations of the aesthetic in a situation of updating and expanding the problematic and categorical fields of modern philosophical and aesthetic discourse. The article emphasizes the relevance of raising questions related to the study of the multidimensionality of aesthetic sensibility manifestations, the structure and specificity of aesthetic experience, and the construction of projective strategies for the aesthetic implementation of the subject. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the continuity of the development of philosophical ideas that reveal the ontological polystructurality and modality of the field of aesthetic (artistic) phenomena, developed in the context of phenomenological aesthetics. The significance of understanding the event-driven, procedural, immanent-transcendent nature of the unfolding of aesthetic experience in modern studies of ontological aesthetics is highlighted. As a result, the author concludes that the post-non-classical analysis of the aesthetic is oriented towards a methodological setting for the implementation of a holistic vision of the aesthetic sphere of being, not limited to the tasks of clarifying the specifics of building an aesthetic relationship, perception, evaluation, as well as describing individual aesthetic phenomena, components, and modes of aesthetic experience. Maintaining a holistic view of the world of the aesthetic allows us to describe not only the phenomenality of aesthetic events, but also to trace the specifics of the unfolding of a unique aesthetic experience as a special event of being, opening up the sphere of the metaphysical in human life.
