| Sumario: | This essay provides a conceptual account of contemporary aesthetics defining it as post-nonclassical. The author shows that this aesthetics, which is the direct consequence of the current state of a technogenic, globalizing civilization and is its self-consciousness, is composed of three parts: (1) classicaesthetic metaphysics; (2) opposed to itnonclassical aesthetics(or non-classics), which emerged on the base of a verbal fixation on twentieth-century art practice (avant-garde, modernism, postmodernism, contemporary art); and (3)aesthetic virtualistics, which generalizes the experience of emerging digital and network art experiments. The author introduces the basic aesthetic vocabulary specific to each of the constituent parts of contemporary post-nonclassical aesthetics.
