Aesthetics

The word aesthetic is derived from the Greek αἰσθητικός (aisthetikos, meaning "esthetic, sensitive, sentient"), which in turn was derived from αἰσθάνομαι (aisthanomai, meaning "I perceive, feel, sense"). The term "aesthetics" was appropriated and coined with new meaning in the German form Æsthetik (modern spelling Ästhetik) by Alexander Baumgarten in 1735.

Did the philosopher Kierkegaard have a position on aesthetics?
Q. What was Kierkegaard's philosophy of aesthetics, if he had one?
Asked by Tommy - Wed Jun 16 14:26:49 2010 - Philosophy - 1 Answers - Comments

A. It depends on what you mean by "aesthetics." Volume 1 of Kierkegaard's early work _Either/Or_ is called an "aesthetic" work, but it refers generally to a hedonistic way of life, not necessarily to a concern with beauty. In any case, that book does have a few things to say about the nature of beauty. The last entry of the book, "Diary of the Seducer" is a good place to look, although you will not find any systematic arguments in favor of one position over another. _Either/Or_ is really a work in literature. I don't recall Kierkegaard mentioning aesthetics proper in his philosophical works. A good thinker for you to look at from the same period is Schiller.

Can being too logical deprive you of appreciating aesthetics?
Q. Logic is objective and it tends to measure the quality of aesthetics through the properties of aesthetics instead of relying on personal sensations to judge the merit of aesthetics.
Asked by Garcia - Thu Nov 3 00:41:34 2011 - Polls & Surveys - 7 Answers - Comments

A. I think that aesthetics, the idea that something is valued as good/beautiful nearly always coincides with logic. It can even be applied to ethics. Aesthetic ethics refers to the idea that human conduct ought to be governed by that which is beautiful and attractive. The philosopher John Dewey pointed out that the unity of aesthetics and ethics is in fact reflected in our understanding of behavior being "fair" - the word having a double meaning of attractive and morally acceptable. Math/physics is nearly pure logic and it often has beauty in simpleness and in its symmetry. John Keats: Beauty is truth, truth is beauty.

Mimesis is one of the oldest, most fundamental concepts in Western aesthetics. This book offers a new, searching treatment of its long history at the center of theories of representational art: above all, in the highly influential writings of Plato and Aristotle, but also in later Greco-Roman philosophy and criticism, and subsequently in many areas of aesthetic controversy from the Renaissance to the twentieth century. Combining classical scholarship, philosophical analysis, and the history of ideas--and ranging across discussion of poetry, painting, and music--Stephen Halliwell shows with a wealth of detail how mimesis, at all stages of its evolution, has been a more complex, variable concept than its conventional translation of "imit [cont.]
