Keywords: Ulrich Gumbrecht; Aesthetics; Psycho-physiological resonance; Education; Methodology.

Summary/Abstract: The author chose as the starting point Ulrich Gumbrecht’s meditations on presence and significance meaning, contained in his book The Production of Presence. The article’s subject-matter proper is a sort of pre-discursive sensation manifesting itself as a delight leading to the subject’s perdition in the work of art. The author endeavours to place this psycho-physiological resonance, conceived as a non-Kantian aesthetic moment, within the framework of university teaching of foreign literature.
