Philosophers say what art is and then scientists and then other
scholars study how we are equipped, cognitively and socially, to
make art and appreciate it. This time-honoured approach will not
work. Recent science reveals that we have poor intuitive access to
artistic and aesthetic phenomena. Dominic McIver Lopes argues for a
new approach that mandates closer integration, from the start,
between aesthetics and the human sciences. In these eleven essays
he proposes a methodology especially suited to aesthetics, where
problems in philosophy are addressed principally by examining how
aesthetic phenomena are understood in the human sciences. Since the
human sciences include much of the humanities as well as the
social, behavioural, and brain sciences, the methodology promises
to integrate arts research across the academy. Aesthetics on the
Edge opens with a four essays outlining the methodology and its
potential. The following essays put the methodology to work,
shedding light on the perceptual and social-pragmatic capacities
that are implicated in responding to works of art, especially
images, but also music, literature, and conceptual art.
