Summary/Abstract: According to Heidegger , the basic terms of aesthetics are : matter/form, binome which is realized through platonic concept for being , which understands the being through the look of eidos / idea. According to this concept, aesthetics is constituted through metaphysical distinction : the being and creation of the being / the being as a unity of matter and form .The second pair of terms are : technique/nature .The term techne means knowledge /knowing the being and its immanence that is thinking about the world and human relationship with the world . The metaphysical setting provides the creation and development of the aesthetic theory. The Cartesian subjectivity , is the third fact of Heidegger for development of the aesthetics .The Cartesian subjectivity means change of the perspective for researching the modern thought for subjectivity and that Cogito becomes supporting point for discovering the depth of the being , world and the truth. The beauty and art are being effected in the subject .The art loses its “ absolute power” ….With this you overtake the third fact .The Hegel’s aesthetics for “ big art”, for the end of the great art .The fifth basic fact , belongs to Wagner and his unsuccessful tendency “ to create complete art masterpiece..” The unsuccessfulness of Wagner , Heidegger links it with direct connection with effectiveness. The masterpiece is already a stimulant for the met experiences /subjective perception . The sixth basic fact of the Aesthetics , is the Nietzsche’s theory according to whom affectivness is set to the nerve stimulation of the body position. In that context somaesthetics is an effort to go further from the frontiers of conventional philosophical aesthetics, not as a theory , but insists of practical dimension of the real culture of the somatic disciplines , even it is worth mentioning that Baumgarten’s aesthetics was imagined as a discipline which is practiced not only in theory , but through aesthetic practical exercises . Through pragmatism of different disciplines (such as history, sociology, cosmetics, anatomy, meditative and martial arts , physiology , nutrition, kinesiology, psychology , and neuronal networks ), can be useful in understanding the position of the human being in the world.
