Abstract
The paper will deal with the notion of the experience (as a crucial term of aesthetic theory) of the city, especially the aesthetic, somatic, and somaesthetic experience. The understanding of experience will be based on John Dewey (1980), Richard Shusterman (1999), Maria Bukdahl (2012), Virgil C. Aldrich (1963), and Walter Benjamin (1935 [1969]). In dialogue with Richard Shusterman, we will illustrate two levels of experience: a) the somatic (almost biological) level of experience and b) a second level of experience that requires some intellectual evaluation: interpretation.
