Abstract

Aesthetic theory examines the relationship between perceptual, sensory experience and value judgments and raises questions about taste, art, value, and truth. While aesthetic theory is often held to be synonymous with the philosophy of art, its importance extends far beyond this realm. Indeed, as reflection on a fundamental part of human experience, aesthetic theory has consequences for many different discourses, impacting on notions of subjectivity, politics, and ethics. Having fallen out of fashion in the mid‐twentieth century, the field has been brought back to the fore recently and is currently recognized as an area of critical importance in contemporary philosophical inquiry.
