The author executes a short historical and philosophical analysis of the changes and the accumulation of meanings of given concept and gives a comparative description of its sound in the frame of classical and non-classical understanding of the aesthetic experience. Special attention is paid to the modern aesthetic situation of coexistence of mentioned approaches. In this context, the game — support understanding of culture, culture itself becomes a free game character, the game is treated as an important characteristic of human existence, and is a characteristic of elite culture. Aesthetic experience is seen as an expression of individual moral principles that allow to distinguish between game and non-game.
