Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with a comparative analysis of the religious and aesthetic experiences. Treating philosophical considerations as a source of inspiration and external criterion of reference, the author first analyzes the psychological specific character of human experiences. He refers to the theories which stem from cognitive psychology. Then he presents the structures of religious and aesthetic experiences. Careful analyses have served to show in the last part of the paper a total effect of the experiences under analysis, their similarities and differences.
