Everyday aesthetic experiences and concerns occupy a large part of
our aesthetic life. However, because of their prevalence and
mundane nature, we tend not to pay much attention to them, let
alone examine their significance. Western aesthetic theories of the
past few centuries also neglect everyday aesthetics because of
their almost exclusive emphasis on art. In a ground-breaking new
study, Yuriko Saito provides a detailed investigation into our
everyday aesthetic experiences, and reveals how our everyday
aesthetic tastes and judgments can exert a powerful influence on
the state of the world and our quality of life.
By analyzing a wide range of examples from our aesthetic
interactions with nature, the environment, everyday objects, and
Japanese culture, Saito illustrates the complex nature of seemingly
simple and innocuous aesthetic responses. She discusses the
inadequacy of art-centered aesthetics, the aesthetic appreciation
of the distinctive characters of objects or phenomena, responses to
various manifestations of transience, and the aesthetic expression
of moral values; and she examines the moral, political,
existential, and environmental implications of these and other
issues.
