Aesthetics
Explore how the word is used and compare.
Aesthetic - Beauty, perception of the senses. (Touch, taste,hearing, sight and smell).
Aesthetic also means 'of the senses' - Anesthetic means dulling the senses.
Conception - Mind.
Perception - Visual.
Beauty, truth and goodness - perception over conception.
Beauty is subjective - going on in the mind, there is no common view as everyone is individual.
It is a matter of free liking.
To have proper judgement we should have no interest, separating ourselves from interest and taste.
Association creates interest.
Dis-interest - subjective judgement is universally valid.
You have to see something for it to be beautiful - 'goodness' doesn't have to be seen.
"Form ever follows function, this is the law." - Louis Sullivan
Photography.
"You can't judge a photograph for it's own sake" - Roger Scruton
Photography is a message without a code unlike paintings, drawings, lines and crosshatches etc. It is a physical record of something. They are like shadows.
Sublime - goes on forever/ uncontained
