The difference between aesthetic experience and aesthetic experience is the difference between traditional aesthetics and modern aesthetics.

Aesthetic experience is a spiritual activity throughout creation, appreciation, consumption and dissemination.

The aesthetic experience is an internal state of integration and transcendence between the subject and the aesthetic object as an aesthetic object.

Western modern aesthetics can be divided into two major types of interpretations of aesthetic experience: one is the subjectivist interpretation, which emphasizes the role of the aesthetic attitude;

the other is the objective interpretation, which emphasizes the role of the aesthetic object.

In the view of the objective theorists, the most important source of aesthetic experience lies in the aesthetic qualities possessed by the aesthetic object itself.

Aesthetic experience is basically a passive state of perceptual experience.

And in the view of subjectivists, beauty and aesthetic experience are one and the same thing; beauty is not an ontological concept, and aesthetic experience is not an epistemological concept.

For example, the American aesthetician H. Parker (1885-1949) argued that both aesthetic experience and beauty are one and the same.

Aesthetic experience does not derive from the aesthetic qualities of the aesthetic object, but from the experience of affirmation that the aesthetic attitude gets on the object.
