Summary/Abstract: The theory of aesthetic cosmopolitanism is a part of a new trend in cultural sociology.In recent years, varieties of cosmopolitanism surfaced in cosmopolitanism theory,one such version IS the aesthetic cosmopolitanism. Inspired by the new cosmopolitanism theories, sociologists and philosophers translate the difference between normative cosmopolitanism and “lived” cosmopolitanism into the aesthetic realm, arguing that theaesthetic cosmopolitanism which can be found in the perceptual qualities brought tolight by the contemporary artworks is a version of the lived cosmopolitanism acceptedby cultural sociology today. Our study will try to shed light on the elusiveness of thenotion of sensus communis which lies at the heart of contemporary aesthetic cosmopolitanism.
