My last post! So to sum up, Aesthetics is
generally the perception of the way we view such things and give judgments.
This is most common in art but can be applied to other subjects as well that may
obtain the Aesthetic aspects of appreciation. The reason why we judge is
because perception forms an opinion or thought whether the Aesthetic experience
is pleasurable or un-pleasurable regardless of whether we have any interest in
it or if it has any significance to us. Frank Sibley has explained that there
are two types of concepts, the closed type where there are rules and conditions
and an open one where there are none. Since Aesthetics is purely judgment on
beauty, there can be many cases where we can judge because each individual has
a different view of beauty, which therefore makes it difficult to define
beauty.
Kant has described the two types of
experiences of the ‘Aesthetic’, those that are positive in which the individual
is able to change the circumstances and the situation to suit them and a
negative experience where they are not able to change anything. This impacts the
overall perception one has. Kant has also explained that the more concentrated
the individual is on the negative or positive experience, the longer it lasts.
