Jan Patočka – systola a diastola estetického prožitku
Jan Patočka – Systole and Diastole of Aesthetic Experience

Summary/Abstract: This article is aimed at the theme of rhythm in the thinking of Jan Patočka, Gilles Deleuze, Jacques Derrida, Georges Didi-Huberman, and Félix Guattari. It mainly points out the possibility of conceiving the aesthetic experience from the standpoint of the rhythmical movement of contraction and expansion, withdrawing and pouring out, territorialization and deterritorialization, in other words, systole and diastole. Such a movement must be understood, however, as the revelation of the original temporality, as a temporal transcendence of what is given, whether in the meaning of the past or of the future dimension of time.
