Does Aesthetics involves all of our senses? - vision, hearing, touch, taste, and smell - and emotions. <br><br>

In philosophy, aesthetics is the study of beauty and taste, whether in the form of the comic, the tragic or the sublime. The word derives from the Greek aisthetikos, which means "of sense perception." Aesthetics has traditionally been part of other philosophical pursuits like the investigation of epistemology or ethics. However, it started to come into its own and become a more independent pursuit under Immanuel Kant, the German philosopher who saw aesthetics as a unitary and self-sufficient type of human experience. <br><br>

Unfortunately, aesthetics is one of those concepts which is not easily broken down into simpler ideas, thus making it rather difficult to explain adequately. In general, when we speak of something that creates an aesthetic experience, we are usually talking about some form of art; yet the mere fact that we are discussing a work of art does not guarantee that we are also discussing aesthetics - the two topics are not equivalent. For one thing, not all works of art necessarily create an aesthetic experience. An example of this occurs when we look at a painting in an effort to determine how much we can sell it for - here, we are not viewing it aesthetically. <br><br>

Whatever the actual object in question, those studying aesthetics seek to understand why some things arouse positive reactions whereas others arouse more negative feelings. Why are we drawn to certain objects and repelled by others? The very question of how and why aesthetic experiences are created is itself also a subject of aesthetics. In this manner, the field of aesthetics begins to cross over into the Philosophy of Mind because it touches on how and why aspects of our brain and consciousness operate. <br><br>

Aesthetics also leads us to a variety of other issues regarding politics, morality, and more. For example, some have argued that an important component of the aesthetic experience is the desire for political action - thus, "good" art is that which gets us to try and improve society. At the same time, some critics argue that there is "bad" art which serves to subtly (or sometimes not so subtly) reinforce the status quo and create an "ideology" which helps keep certain groups of people not only out of power, but even from seeking it in the first place. <br><br>

With regards to morality, it has often been argued that certain images or ideas are inherently immoral and hence do not create a valid aesthetic experience. Anything with a strong sexual content has often been included in such a category, but many political leaders have also included material which does not encourage people to follow the dictates of the state. <br><br>

Interestingly, the very answer to the question of whether or not some particular work of art should be permitted will often depend upon how one approaches it - from a political, ethical, religious or aesthetic perspective. In effect, our responses are in large part determined by how we frame the question in the first place, but that issue crosses over into the Philosophy of Language. <br><br>

The basic questions asked in aesthetics include: <br><br>

What can life be like? <br>

What is beautiful?<br>

Why do we find certain things beautiful? <br>

<b>Thank you every one, for pouring in your thoughts, this has given a solid outline to my research study, with out you peoples help I would have been no where.<br><br>

There is one more point if I take data and pictures from the site, will I be infringing the copy right laws. I will mention the name of the site and the name of the photographer in my research paper. And will also provide my research paper to pubic and PN. As this will be a noncommercial paper.<br><br>

Main reason to do this research is to find out the factors which can be beneficial for all of us Photographers<br><br>

I have inquired this with PN officials but have not received any reply.<br><br>

Please keep on posting about Aesthetics. And expend our understanding. I will also like to know the email address of participators so I can send them the final copy of the paper.<br><br>

Once again thank you<br><br>

I love you all

To me some thing aesthetically good must contain emotions.

How many of us are from the same school of thought?

Michele Berti, in my opinion subjective, also has a pattern. Like what most of the people like to appreciate.

and emotions, personal inclinations, and formal education, must also have some thing common among individuals.

Do we still from deep inside prefer to be as free as a bird? And have no boundaries. is that the reason we prefer sceneries. Do we feel confined, because of which we don?t rate pictures high, which give us feelings of being caged.

I have observed that top rated pictures in Aesthetics are mostly Landscape showing countryside. Do we have some link here between Aesthetics and Sceneries?

Results taken from "Period=All" and "by:Aesthetics"

Thank you Richard Milner, I have gone through the dictionary. But what I am looking for was not explained.

You are very right leslie cheung these things are to be felt, but I have embarked in a quest to express it in words.

Yes AASIF RASHID you are correct but what is Artistic Aesthetics. I want to find out why people rate some pictures as high in Aesthetics. What are the main ingredients of a picture, which makes them Aesthetically good?

Dear John Falkenstine I am interested in Photographic Aesthetics more importantly I want know why people rate some pictures as good in aesthetics in fact I want to find out the ingredients so people can cook better pictures.

Yes Grant I am afraid there are many variables but, this is a thirst and I have to quench

I hope this has given some directions to what is the question in hand

We at some degree do recognize what originality is, but do we

understand what aesthetics is?

I don?t want to start with my own comments as to keep the biasness

apart.

Am doing a research paper on this topic, your reviews will be of

great help.
