Abstract
This article discusses the relationship of aesthetic judgement, and the basis on which it is expressed, and aesthetic experience. The aesthetic experience is distinguished from the ability to recognise 'aesthetic objects' and value them aesthetically. The beauty experience itself is sui generis and in itself an existential - and thus a fatal - experience. The beauty experience, characterised here using texts by Paul Valéry, is, first of all, a revelation of what beauty is and means in a life, and not a valuation of a particular aesthetic object, (and it certainly does not decide on the value of a work of art).
