【 摘 要 】

Recently in this journal, Kuehnast et al. (2014) empirically explored the semantic, psychological, and emotional features of being moved. The purpose of this commentary is to relate the results and discussion of Kuehnast et al. to aesthetic concepts and theory. One of the key tasks of both psychological and philosophical aesthetics is the analysis of peak experiences in response to artworks and architectural objects (both broadly defined), as well as natural wonders (e.g., Kant, 1790/1914; Panzarella, 1980). In the recently proposed Aesthetic Trinity Theory (Koneèni, 2005; Konečni, 2011; ATT hereafter), a tripartite hierarchy is delineated: Aesthetic Awe (AeA), a rare, intense, highly memorable peak experience; the state of Being Moved (BM), a more common and less pronounced experience; and (physiological) Thrills or Chills (ThCh), the most frequently experienced and observed response.
