Description

Aesthetics as Philosophy of Perception by Bence Nanay explores how philosophical concepts can help us better understand aesthetic experiences. By clarifying assumptions about perception and experience, Nanay sheds new light on debates in aesthetics. The book focuses on the concept of attention, examining how it affects our understanding of phenomena such as picture perception, depiction, and formalism. Nanay also considers the role of uniqueness in aesthetics and the history of vision debate. In contrast to these distributed forms of attention, he analyzes paradigmatic aesthetic experiences where attention is focused, including identification with fictional characters. This book offers a fresh perspective on aesthetics by bringing together philosophy of perception and debates in aesthetics. It provides valuable insights into how our understanding of experience can inform our appreciation of art and other aesthetic phenomena.
