Aesthetics

Aesthetics (also esthetics) is the subfield of philosophy concerning beauty and art. It spans all areas of artistic endeavor, including the visual arts (e.g., painting, sculpture), music, the performing arts, and literature. Questions in Aesthetics include: What is art, and what is non-art? What do the various arts have in common? What, if anything, makes some art good or bad? Can art be evaluated objectively, or only subjectively (that is, are aesthetic properties merely "in the eye of the beholder" or "matters of taste")? What is the importance of art, to whom, and for what? What affects can a work of art have on the observer? How does one interpret a work of art? What is the role of the artist's intention in interpreting a work of art? What is beauty and what is its relationship to art? What is the role of emotion in the appreciation of art? What is the connection between art and ethics?
