Abstract
This paper aims to look at one of the fundamental factors of human beings—the appreciation of things. Calling it ‘the aesthetic faculty’ this paper tries to see how it is inevitable to the way human beings as a species function. This paper aims to propose this idea of an ‘aesthetic faculty’ as a potential basis for our community life in its diverse operations in terms of cultural spaces and their semantics. Viewing the socio-systemic life from the point of view from the aesthetic faculty reveals how appreciation and evaluation are inevitable to human life and how an ideological ground cannot actually affect life without addressing this basic human faculty. This paper tries to take the term ‘aesthetic’ vis-a-vis ‘appreciation’ to a different semantic world altogether so that it is no longer a matter of artistic engagements alone, but something more fundamental and formative than that.

Summary
SMART MOVES JOURNAL IJELLH we may arrive at a factor more fundamental to the whole paradigm of politico-cultural studies than anything else—the factor pertaining to the human faculty of appreciation. Coming back to the thread, while stating that the “issues of style, fashion, aesthetic appeal are not properties inherent in particular objects, but the result of a social and cultural evaluation of these objects” (Nayar, Packaging, 49), we must say that this evaluative function, or this act of appreciation is something really fundamental to human life in the sense that it makes happen everything else as its derivatives.
