| summary | Few would deny that we have aesthetic experiences. Rather, it is the nature of aesthetic experience that is difficult to isolate. We need not delve deep into the issue before recognizing the surprising tension that exists between aesthetics as a discipline, which makes many assumptions about the distinctly perceptual nature of aesthetic experience and the philosophy of perception, which grapples with the nature of perception and its relation with the most ordinary of external objects, if it accepts such a relation at all. The former makes too many demands on perception as well as perceptual objects and cannot account for the aesthetic experience of non-perceptual objects. The latter does not do justice to the seeming richness and diversity of aesthetic sensibility. I aim, therefore, to address two arguments that question the idea of aesthetic perception: one is an argument from non-perceptual objects, the other is an argument from perception. These will help us begin to clarify the problem of the nature of aesthetic experience and, hopefully, begin to accommodate it in all its richness and diversity. |
