This article explores the concept of "immanent transfiguration" which was suggested by American philosopher Richard Shusterman. Since Shusterman coined this concept through his critique of Arthur Danto's concept of "transfiguration", it is necessary to clarify the differences between the theories of these two philosophers. Danto made the concept of transfiguration into an elevation of ontological status that turns an ordinary thing into an artwork that enjoys the ontological status of being more than an ordinary "real thing" (TC vii), as Danto explains in his book The Transfiguration of the Commonplace. In contrast, with Shusterman's "immanent transfiguration" the artwork or aesthetic object is still perceived as existing in "our immanent material world" (AAR 14) and the only change in the transfiguration is "a difference of how the same world of things is perceived, experienced, and lived." (AAR 10) However, immanent transfiguration requires a certain condition of consciousness that can be obtained through modes of "hard looking" and "sustained contemplative efforts." One can achieve the experience of transfiguration through such perceptual somaesthetic endeavors. The article concludes by suggesting how Shusterman's reconceptualization of transfiguration is connected not only to the theory of art but also to the more general theory of aisthesis as perception.
