Естетика откъм четенето?
Aesthetics in the Perspective of Reading?

(Notes on the Appearances of Writing)

Summary/Abstract: This paper sets itself the task to delineate an “aesthetic” approach to reading. It takes as a point of departure two intertwined themes in Kant’s third Critique: 1) the “disinterested” aesthetic attitude, and 2) the as-if character of aesthetic entities. These define two extremes of reading: per diletto on the one hand and logos-minded reading on the other. This makes it possible to offer a phenomenologo-hermeneutical “history of reading”, which is staged here by the author in the form of a three-act comedy. From this perspective, the present article portrays reading itself, starting from pre-modernity, when it was marked by reading in, then passing through modernity (for which reading of is relevant), only to reach, at present, an actualist contemporaneity, whose all-embracing oblivion assumes the form of deliberate copy-paste reading.
