Summary/Abstract: What is ecstasy? Can we give a definition of rest, calm, and of soaring, vehement ecstasy? Are we capable of thinking aesthetically through the idea of the mobile and the immobile? Is it correct to say that the aesthetical is a form of ecstasy? The question arises as to what the aesthetical brings us, and from what it sets us free. If all these assumptions are correct, we should change our view of the aesthetic experience.Do we have the right to interpret the aesthetical experience as a dynamic psychological state that affects the physical level as well? An attempt to reconsider all these possibilities gives unexpected results.
