Summary:In general, the theme of this paper is future possibilities for aesthetics as a discipline. Critically developing in the future several merely inchoative types of aesthetic reflection today could have important consequences for developing possible new orientations for aesthetics itself tomorrow.In particular, the paper is about future possibilities for aesthetics that may arise from developing rather new kinds of aesthetic reflection in connection with the still problematic relations between the traditional couple of aesthetics and ethics. The aim is not so much to criticize standard accounts of those troubled relations, but to complement them. The paper’s standpoint is mainly that of aesthetics and not of ethics.It is suggested here that some new orientations for aesthetics may be seen to arise from what the author calls “re-contextualizing,” a specific kind of aesthetic reflection to be understood not just in today’s narrow academic terms, but also in tomorrow’s broadly global ones.
