Abstract: This article represents a reflection about the new perspectives opened by chaos theory in the relationships between ethics and esthetics within the philosophy of psychology. The roots of these perspectives can be traced from the foundations of Western philosophy: Plato and Aristotle, Kant and Hegel. The epistemological changes embedded in chaos theory can be as strong as the ones related to the Scientific Revolution represented by Galilei and Newton. Fractal thinking and physical phenomena, such as studies on the different types of noise, can start new approaches in the dialectics between ethics and aesthetics, as well as their impact on human relations.

Keywords: ethics, esthetics, chaos, noise, psychology, humanistic
