What do we do when we view a work of art? What does it mean to have
an "aesthetic" experience? Are such experiences purely in the eye
(and brain) of the beholder? Such questions have entertained
philosophers for millennia and psychologists for over a century.
More recently, with the advent of functional neuroimaging methods,
a handful of ambitious brain scientists have begun to explore the
neural correlates of such experiences. The notion of aesthetics is
generally linked to the way art evokes an hedonic response-we like
it or we don't. Of course, a multitude of factors can influence
such judgments, such as personal interest, past experience, prior
knowledge, and cultural biases. In this book, philosophers,
psychologists, and neuroscientists were asked to address the nature
of aesthetic experiences from their own discipline's perspective.
In particular, we asked these scholars to consider whether a
multidisciplinary approach, an aesthetic science, could help
connect mind, brain, and aesthetics. As such, this book offers an
introduction to the way art is perceived, interpreted, and felt and
approaches these mindful events from a multidisciplinary
perspective.
