What is beauty, and what is truth? These are some of the questions which aesthetics tries to answer. In our everyday life, we talk about the 'aesthetics' of an artwork or a piece of design. But aesthetics goes beyond the simple experience of art. It is also a branch of philosophy concerned with the whole nature of experience itself, explored through our perceptions, feelings and emotions.

Quotes

  • Soliloquios Literarioshas quoted5 years ago
    Although Plato condemned art, he never entirely disassociated art from truth. Rather, he stated that art is a pale mirror, or poor copy, of the truth

    • Soliloquios Literarioshas quoted5 years ago
      In common with the rest of Greek society, Socrates held religious beliefs which were metaphysical in character. Metaphysics is a dualistic system – the gods exist in a higher transcendent realm and the world down below, inhabited by humans, is a pale imitation of it.
