In this work an approach to the aesthetic fact is developed, understood as an experiential and relational process, not focused on artistic productions, nor on material objects in general. In this framework, an attempt is made to show the connection and kinship between certain elements of Schaeffer's theory of aesthetic experience and Kant's conception of aesthetic judgment. A parallel is established between the conception of aesthetic experience as an autoteleological and depragmatized process, sustained as such by a particular interaction between cognition, emotions and pleasure, proposed by Schaeffer; and the Kantian theses on the free and disinterested play of the faculties that postulates the transcendental principle of the faculty to judge. Towards the end, I suggest that the interference of a moral component in the aesthetic fact should be considered.
