Estetyka czasu wolnego

The features of aesthetic experiencing, establishing subjectivity of aesthetic situation, coincide with the features of leisure time behaviours, which is the main thesis of this paper. I point out to similarities and mutual relations of the two phenomena. The subjectivity of aesthetic and leisure time perception often makes us analyse them as a state of mind. Aesthetic experience is an element of almost each function or form of leisure time. Leisure time (scholé), as defined by the first philosophers, is a necessary - synergic element of aesthetic experience, whereas an opposite relation does not always occur. The similarities in the analysis of leisure time and aesthetic experience are particularly well seen from psychological or even psycho-physiological perspective. In terms of traditional aesthetics, philosophical works of Kant, Hegel and Schiller constituted a base for pedagogical theories on leisure time and aesthetic experiencing.
