Experiência estética como experiência formativa a partir da ontologia de Hans-Georg Gadamer

In this article are discussed the relationship between aesthetic experience and education from the ontology of Hans-Georg Gadamer, considering the aesthetic experience in man's encounter with the artwork and in the encounter between men. The arguments were made according to Philosophical Hermeneutics, course that allowed greater understanding of the educational process, in that it shows that anyone who experiences art puts himself into action, is challenged to be another. Thus, the experience of art, characterized by a plurality of experiences, constitutes in important self-formative moments, as it can generate both opening and culmination of processes, demarcating identities, without falling into methodological monism or in pure relativism. And it can be seen both in man's experience with the artwork and the experience between men, different ways of being. This way, when designing the aesthetic experience as an ontological one, Gadamer not only reconfigured the philosophical thought, giving rise to new aesthetic, but also updated Bildung amid the challenges of the rupture of metaphysics.
