Abstract

Discussions concerning the atmospheric raise questions about how it can be defined and what influences may stem from particular atmospheres. Moreover, a shift in emphasis can be seen in respect of the way phenomena and disciplines are understood. Aesthetics is considered to be a theory of sensual perception; ethics serves as a theory of the good life. The article focuses on the relationship between atmospheres and aesthetics as well as atmospheres and ethics and concludes with three points about ethical-aesthetic potentials, thus enhancing in-betweenness, the development of aesthetic interest, as well as a re-evaluation.
