Abstract
In this paper we shall examine, on the ground of Roman Ingarden’s aesthetic theory, how artistic and aesthetic values function as an ontological foundation for the world that comes forth from the literary work of art at the moment of reading. We will discuss first artistic value in relation to the world at large, then aesthetic value and the world of the reader, and then the process of the “concretization” of the work of art, all, in order to point out some aspects of what could be seen as a phenomenological aesthetics. Inherent to this proposal is the apprehension of Ingarden’s notion of “opalescence”1 as it directly relates to reflection on the subject of time.
