| Description | The paper will offer a comparison of the ideas of Yuriko Saito, an aesthetician of everyday life, and Sallie McFague, an eco-theologian, whose works, despite pertaining to different disciplines, share common themes in a number of areas. The primary focus of the paper will be the relationship between aesthetic experience and the experience of care, which both authors discuss. Attention will be paid to their shared inspirations (Martin Buber, Iris Murdoch, and feminist ethics of care) and to the emphases, but also to the differences in how they treat the concepts of aesthetics and care. The paper will thus focus on how each theorist considers the role of the aesthetic in broader ecological, social, and political contexts. With regard to Yuriko Saito, it will present her concept of "world-making", and, in the case of Sallie McFague, it will outline how aesthetic experience is applied in connection with the author's metaphorical theology and concept of re-mythologization. The paper will attempt to assess the ways in which the addressed approaches are able to enrich one another, and it will outline the possibilities for dialogue between the aesthetics of everyday life and theological aesthetics. |
