URIBE BOTERO, Ángela. Sobre lo místico en lo estético y sobre lo estético en lo místico en la obra de Ernst Tugendhat. Eidos [online]. 2015, n.22, pp.282-298. ISSN 1692-8857.  https://doi.org/10.14482/eidos.22.5747.

Ernst Tugendhat's works on mysticism are provided of a series of references to the aesthetic experience. Based on these references, and the significance they may be attributed in Tugendhat's purpose to clarify the sense of mysticism, in this paper I explore the possibility to answer affirmatively the question: Can the aesthetic experience imply some of the traits attributed to the mystical experience? My starting point to get the answer is to focus on Tugendhat's reflections on the term "astonishment" in the context of the mystical experience. i then give the reasons that, according to Tugendhat and opposed to Wittgenstein, may make us think that the expression 'How astonishing that the world exists!' has indeed a sense. Finally, i conclude showing that anyone using expressions like this to affirm the beauty of the world, not only expresses the emotion implied by his astonishment: he also expresses a disposition to assume a mystical attitude.

Keywords : Ersnt Tugendhat; mystical experience; egocentricity; aesthetic experience; astonishment.
