Kolomiets G.G. AESTHETICS AND THE CATEGORY "AESTHETIC"The author substantiates the thesis that today understanding and importance of aesthetics and its universal category "aesthetic" is tightly connected with philosophy and cultural anthropology, with human’s value relation to reality and the art as the way of human’s interaction with the world, as a specific way of being. Ontological and anthropological turn of the modern western philosophy has changed the idea of aesthetics’ function and in the second half of the 20th century featured the proper "aesthetic" as the fundamental category but not "the beautiful" and "the sublime". Axiological and culturological direction of native aesthetic thought also strengthened the idea of aesthetic as the quality peculiar to a human’s consciousness. The quality must influence a person in the eminent way.
