Aesthetics
aes·thet·ics or es·thet·ic
Derived from the Greek
verb aesthanesthai
(to perceive)
A. G. Baumgarten, whose
Aesthetica (1750) dealt
with art and the nature
of beauty
Philosophical study of the qualities that make something an
object of aesthetic interest and of the nature of aesthetic
value and judgement. It encompasses the philosophy of art,
which is chiefly concerned with the nature and value of art
and the principles by which it should be interpreted and
evaluated. Three broad approaches to the subject have been
taken, each distinguished by the types of questions it treats
as foremost: (1) the study of aesthetic concepts, often
specifically through the examination of uses of aesthetic
language; (2) the study of the states of mind — responses,
attitudes, emotions — held to be involved in aesthetic
experience; and (3) the study of objects deemed aesthetically
interesting, with a view to determining what about them
makes them so.
There are two traditional views
concerning what constitutes
aesthetic values. The first finds
beauty to be objective, that is,
inherent in the entity itself. The
second position holds that beauty is
subjective, in that it depends on the
attitude of the observer.
