Description
Yuriko Saito's groundbreaking study explores our everyday aesthetic experiences and their significance in shaping our lives. By examining a wide range of examples from nature, objects, and culture, she reveals the complex nature of seemingly simple responses.
The book challenges traditional Western aesthetic theories that focus on art, arguing instead that everyday aesthetics are crucial to understanding our moral, political, existential, and environmental values. Saito's analysis sheds light on the importance of appreciating the distinctive characters of objects or phenomena, responding to transience, and expressing moral values through aesthetic experiences.
