Corps, cerveau et beaute: La place de l'esthetique dans le domaine de l'esprit

If art and feeling is as important as science and rationality then it surely cannot be treated merely as something nice but not necessary ; a more adequate account then can be provided by treating the aesthetic as being “among the most complex responses of the human mind” (Lipscomb), and also as “one of the most noble and profound of human endeavours” (Zeki). To claim that implies that the aesthetic comprises more than it is commonly affiliated with it, and that further means that it is not reducible to merely emotional responses and pleasure devoid of reason. This view actually suggests that the aesthetic is to be viewed as a trait of the human mind, and as such should also be studied within the general scope of human knowledge.
