  Abstract:  The Aesthetic Experience of the Everyday and the “Life-World”. This article critically reviews the recent attempts for setting a better theoretical grounding for the new sub-discipline called “Everyday Aesthetics” (EA).I contend that: 1) many attempts are impeded by shortcomings rooted in inappropriate conceptualizations of the aesthetic experience and the everyday; and 2) it is possible to improve the analytical framework for approaching everyday aesthetic life by clarifying EA’s underpinning assumptions and open questions, such as the nature of everyday aesthetic experience, the dialectic of continuity and discontinuity in the flux of one’s experiences, and the relation between the subjective-private and inter subjective dimensions of everyday life. This claim will be supported by some insights on the characteristics of the experience, life, and life-world provided by practical-hermeneutical or pragmatic philosophy and phenomenology.
