The Aesthetic Mind breaks new ground in bringing together empirical
sciences and philosophy to enhance our understanding of aesthetics
and the experience of art. An eminent international team of experts
presents new research in philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, and
social anthropology: they explore the roles of emotion,
imagination, empathy, and beauty in this realm of human experience,
ranging over visual and literary art, music, and dance. Among the
questions discussed are: Why do we engage with things aesthetically
and why do we create art? Does art or aesthetic experience have a
function or functions? Which characteristics distinguish aesthetic
mental states? Which skills or abilities do we put to use when we
engage aesthetically with an object and how does that compare with
non-aesthetic experiences? What does our ability to create art and
engage aesthetically with things tell us about what it is to be a
human being? This ambitious and far-reaching volume is essential
reading for anyone investigating the aesthetic and the artistic.
