This book is centred around the examination of whether it is
possible to find cognitive aspects or purposes in aesthetic
judgements and in perceptions of beauty, and whether it is possible
to meaningfully develop cognitive aesthetics as a unified science
(the unification of philosophical and cognitive approaches) using
an epistemic background of beauty and art. The book offers various
aspects of understanding cognitive characteristics of aesthetic
experience. The authors examine the distinction between ordinary
and aesthetic experience. They regard a conceptual and semantic
analysis of the concept of beauty and focuse on the differences in
the evaluation of physical beauty between the sexes from the
perspective of evolutionary psychology. The problem of the facial
attractiveness and the aesthetic experience from the perspective of
cognitive neuroscience is also object of their investigation. The
contributors elaborate on beauty in music and emotionality, the
problem of the beauty in mathematics and the mathematics of beauty,
and consider the vision of how cognitive science affects art
theory.
