Abstract | Oddly enough, in the last half century the most battered and beaten notion in the lexicon of philosophical aesthetics has been its own central concept, aesthetic experience. On the one hand, there is something simple, obvious, and perfectly familiar about this notion. Any fair poll would surely show that citizens of the Western world in general are confidently familiar with aesthetic experience as a concept and as part of their lives. On the other hand, there is something about the notion that defies easy analysis, a vagueness or looseness in its application that has drawn persistent critical fire. One is likely to be much more confident in identifying paradigmatic instances of aesthetic experience than in marking the borders of what should count as aesthetic experience in general. In this essay, the authors want to consider again the status of aesthetic experience in present-day aesthetic theory. There are, they contend, two questions that need answering if current efforts to defend this notion are to achieve more success than their predecessors: First, if one puts aside efforts to provide a standard, necessary-and-sufficient-conditions definition for aesthetic experience, can we be confident that the notion described is ample enough to carry the features traditionally taken to be part of aesthetic experience, while remaining spare enough to escape traditional criticisms mounted against aesthetic experience theories? And, second, even if the first condition can be satisfied, what good would this do? Would delineating aesthetic experience advance the field of aesthetics? Would it make any difference to the way in which the concept of aesthetic experience is used in teaching contexts? (Contains 19 notes.) (ERIC). |
