| Sumario: | Abstract: This work offers a way out of the paradox of tragic pleasure based on the conception of aesthetic experience defended by Jean-Marie Schaeffer. The idea is to show that the solution to the paradox is already found in Aristotle, and that this depends on making a clear distinction between the levels at which affective involvement and hedonic valence run. This distinction allows separating the dysphoric content typical of tragedies, which provokes emotions with a negative hedonic component, from the final and integral result of the properly aesthetic attentional process, which is experienced as positive by the appreciators. In addition, it is suggested that the aesthetic experience is never merely self-referential and that moral beliefs and convictions have some interference in the encounter with tragedies. |
