(#Aesthetics #Art)
I still don't know how to use this word properly... i feel like people use this word so much for everything that they've ruined the actual use of the word.
same here :(
I think I have a simple example suppose you’ve made medieval art the font would be something more medieval like papyrus font (I think it looks medival enough idk) that would complement the medival feeling of the art so in other words if your trying to make something have a type of feeling use things that would complement that thing
"Oh my goddd! Beckyyy, I love your aesthetiiiiiiiiiicccc."
I thought it was just something you said under 80s sounding music vids.
Same
Lol
That's acidic.
The thing about the word aesthetic is that you never know if someone actually knows what it means or if they just wanna sound artsy
Example: thAts So AEstHeTiC.
Many philosophical terms are used this way without an understanding of their technical meaning.
in my opinion aesthetics is a emotion about appreciating the art or the beauty like the Greek statue you can feel something that you can't explain When you look at the poses of some statue thats the aesthetics i mean not that pose but a emotion or feeling i mean how you feel when you see those pose example michael angelo' david statue there are some people i know my english is bad but i know there are some people here who could understand me aesthetics is different to many people why because we have a different perspective also
Agree, it starts with emotions. If one want to experience art, one has to have the ability to experience; let it into yourself and feel. Not everybody reach that, unfortunately....
When I was a small kid I imagined so many things in my mind. But I could not describe it. They were so pale images. Very beautiful flower gardens, beautiful windows with pale afternoon sunlight etc. After so many years I found that was aesthetic. Aesthetic is a feeling than an art.
But where are these emotions derived from? The unconscious mind perhaps, placed there purposely by the marketing images?
That was very insightful thank you. I hope to learn more about this pleasurable branch of philosophy.
That is exactly what I was explaining to people.
They never listened to me-
I already have given up telling people that they misused the word 'aesthetic'. They don't listen, they don't try to understand, and worst of all they believe that I am the one who's wrong.
Exactly. I was in architecture for years and we even barely use this word unless necessary. This word is so misused now and it’s annoying me!
Some visual examples would be helpful. As the saying goes, "a picture is worth a thousand words."
Aesthetics to me is the philosophical examination of concepts related to the evaluation and content of sense-experience. Philosophy of art is distinct, and draws from aesthetics, in the same way that literary theory may draw from linguistics, philosophy of language, etc.
for me, aesthetic is when i see something not only so beautiful but so amazing that it makes me feel a way that I would've never thought before could be felt. its like a different persective of everything, for example cottagecore aesthetic is a way i would've never thought of and old cottage with overgrown vines. its like... never mind it way to hard for me to completetly explain with wordswhat i think
Dude our homework was to make philosophical questions on aesthetics? And I still dont have any idea what to write geez
i has been 6 months but if i have told you "what is beauty? " would that have been a correct question?
I would add that aesthetics isn't only about beauty, but MEANING too!
Agreed I think we mention a question on meaning around 2:55, but there are many questions in aesthetics, so this should not be taken as an exhaustive list.
I'm still kind of confused but what I understood is that aesthetic is what you think of something like the beauty of something and the Art of something right or is there a lot more to that
I looked this up because I didn't know what people meant when they say, "I just have it sitting here for the aesthetics".
I think that aesthetics and ethics are the same thing glued by the value theory with a epicurean orientation
They certainly both fall under value theory, and one might claim that beauty is good, but it seems tough to make the opposite claim that all things that are good are beautiful.

Etymology:
From aesthetic + -ics.
Noun:
aesthetics (usually uncountable, plural aesthetics)
Aesthetics, formerly known as the form of inquiry sporting the biggest gap between the inquirers estimation of the significance of his utterances and the quality of reasoning behind their motivation. The fact that every single person reading this will intuitively have correctly guessed which one is (and is implied to be) bigger will stand as evidence supporting the statement.
I think aesthetics is the dimension of pleasantness in anything humans perceive. Like color, it lives in a spectrum. It arises from mental activity and is subject to individual perception. While there are outliers, it is possible to get stabdard deviations, averages, etc of where in the spectrum perceptions reside.
Can I ask for example of aesthetic questions
Thank you very much for discussing this beautiful topic.
My mind is going crazy just trynna look for a meaning of this word ! And I have to do an essay about it lol
Hey, could you please give a wider definition of aesthetics? I mean, you said that studies beauty & art but then you argue that for some philosophers aesthetics should only study beauty. Now, I know that there exists the aesthetics of the ugly or the disgusting so... what would happen there?
Art is more like a form ,aesthetic is more like a taste of art. They’re like husband and wife one defined the form one defined the taste and beauty for me is defined the look of art so let’s call it side chick:)
I think that aesthetical judgements are commonly and wrongly mixed with ethical judgements. Ethical judgements deal with justice and what is right and wrong. Aesthetical judgements deal with cost/benefit, subjective preferences, etc. It can be personal or interpersonal. I would even say some virtues are aesthetical. I think ethics and aesthetics can be joined together using Value Theory, under Universally Preferable Behaviour. Perhaps we call this realm morality. Or perhaps we call this realm ethics and say aesthetics and morality is a part of ethics. But as we have it now where aesthetics is seperated from ethics and morality, that is a bad thing.
Some might equally say that ethical judgements are subjective. Also I am confused by your claims, You say that aesthetics and ethics are wrongly mixed, but you also say that aesthetics being separated from ethics is a bad thing.
Mole Downunder Could films , literature, and fiction, also be considered of aesthetic philosophy because films are considered an art
@@CarneadesOfCyrene
> You say that aesthetics and ethics are wrongly mixed, but you also say that aesthetics being separated from ethics is a bad thing
It could be that what he meant was that the reason why people mix them is wrong, but there's a right reason for mixing them, and that right reason is "Value Theory, under Universally Preferable Behaviour."
can you please recommend me some good books on aesthetic and art?

Aesthesis- Scenes from aesthetic regime of Art by Jacques Ranciere
Divine inspiration is the key
cool :)))
Thank you for this informative video! I was struggling how to explain this. I believe there are unfortunately beauty standards built into our society and our minds that aren’t always universal. I think each person experiences beauty / value in different ways but majority of people unconsciously or consciously go along and accept these outside influences as their own thoughts. Lastly, it is important for people to develop themselves in this area by challenging the norms and experiencing other cultures and other types of beauty. Only then will their value of beauty be true and unbiased.
Standards change us a lot. There was a moment when I realized that even my dreams are not really mine, I just wanted to look cool and do smth cool
For me, aesthetics mean something simple and beauty. Well. Thats for me.
didn't watch the video, right?
What is the value Sir of art being related to culture? Care to do a podcast? Lets look at Entanglement in Quantum and the perception of art and cultures subjective and objectively
Any book suggestion in aesthetic in philosophy ?
Hmm, depends on what you are looking for. For the classic, primary source on aesthetics, Aristotle's Poetics is a good start, and it is quite short (here's my series on that if curious ruclips.net/p/PLz0n_SjOttTcXOPGhebjHGOgcz047BYO8). If you are looking for more of an anthology I might try Blocker & Jeffers's Contextualizing Aesthetics which has a good mix of primary and secondary sources. For tertiary sources, I like Eran Guter's Aesthetics A-Z or for something more specific to contemporary aesthetics Taylor & Winquist's Encyclopedia of Postmodernism (here's my series on Postmodernism if you are interested ruclips.net/p/PLz0n_SjOttTcLQyeXoDeqR0LGO3JCoLbO)
Could films , literature, and fiction, also be considered of aesthetic philosophy because films are considered an art
It is interesting. One could pose the question: is Gobbelian propaganda if properly packaged to arouse the senses in a certain manner, beautiful? or does it just lured you, camouflaged itself, with certain features to avoid detection so that it could be received as beautiful? So, the degree of identification would be not only intimate, but so that its call to intimacy would be received as something agreeable, and always welcomed?
i could see how someone could eventually become conditioned into associating gobbelian propaganda (not entirely sure what that is but i'm assuming it's unpleasant) with something positive, with the manner in which it's presented to them eliciting typically positive responses. and aesthetics can act as that sort of bridge or catalyst in changing their opinions towards a particular topic without them even realizing it i think
but there's probably going to be a difference between momentarily appreciating the presentation of the content and orientating towards the actual content itself tho, enough for people not to be guiled by those kinds of tactics
Pls reply is Aesthetic is only positive reaction?
no, it's what you make of it. if a painting makes you sad or angry you still cant deny the fact that it is art.
Importance of aesthetic?
subscribed 👌
The answer to your question is: Yes! :-)
interesting! Finally art!
can you do a video on how art themes ( mass of gregory, man of sorrow, purgatory, etc ) were used by religious institutions to manipulate followers?
can not wait for you to cover all the philosopher's views on this subject! today,is all about conceptualism,,,yet the fascinating thing about aesthetics is that is a never ending concept, ,,,specially when artist combine w/ science.
thank!
No problem. I will probably not do many videos on Aesthetics right now, simply because there is so much on my plate, and topics like aesthetics and ethics require a basis and foundation in such things as metaphysics and logic to really be fully understood. I will get there, but there is just so much of philosophy that I have to cover first.
Art.
Aesthetics is the study of the philosophical questions of art. What is beauty? What is art? Etc.
There are at least two distinctive kinds of art, exemplified by the Sistine chapel and whatever's underneath your fridge magnets.
*Aesthetics*

Am i the only one who noticed that letter "A" in word "Aesthetic" has another color there?
It's like, little bit brighter
Maybe it's made initially?
Because "Aesthetic" pronounces like "Esthetic" and he wanted to underline that
I know, i am crazy...
Sorry...
After the boom of "AI art" (extra chaotic in Japan Anime circle), looks like it's time to find some more information to explain things aside "intituive belief".
BTW "haha generative art go btrrr"
I'm so confused :(
Same
Mee too 😁
Is beauty objective or subjective?
They are both theory of beauty
There is only an objective answer when you come up with criteria (subjectively) and then see objectively, how the proposed art measures up to the criteria.
One might be able to objectively judge if say a play fits Aristotle's "Poetics", but not if his Poetics are correct.
some of the comments here are so rude for no reason. Anyways, thank you for this video!
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoy! I try too foster a community of commenters that engage in philosophical debate, but the internet often pushes back.
I came with ques- whts aesthetic, now i have more ques ..
With a lot of these concepts my videos are just the tip of the iceberg.... :)
👀
me searching this up because my mom explained the true meaning of his word when it's actual meaning is ruined:
But liked the video ❤️💯
Thanks!
@myexdrinkmynut for Ultimate aesthetic
What?
@@CarneadesOfCyrene they're dropping the gram
@@CarneadesOfCyrene someone just tagging someone's instagram account for the "aesthetic" i.e probably a bot.
I didn't understand a word.
Not a native English speaker.
Can someone please define aesthetic?
Please I need to understand. This word.
Aesthetics is the study of art and beauty.
take a shot every time he says art
1000 dollars to those who can clearly clearly define this word.
Do you think my definition here is lacking?
Aesthetic things count as 🎨
I dont know if its ADHD or you talking really fast but i am very confused right now
So... this video has done nothing but ask questions.
Aesthetics is an area of study, not a position, so defining it is about discussing the questions that it asks. Biology is not a set of claims, but a set of things that we ask questions about.
more aesthetics less ethics
vaxo gogichaishvili Could films , literature, and fiction, also be considered of aesthetic philosophy because films are considered an art
@@Seasonal-Shadow_4674yes they can be..every work of art is aesthetic
okay monalisa.
Is the Mona Lisa beautiful?
Carneades.org yes
Art and beauty??? BITCH IM BOTH!
Who told me aesthetics will make you non religionable
That is an odd thing to say. Aesthetics is merely the study of what makes something beautiful. Religions have their own aesthetics and opinions about what makes something beautiful.
Aesthetics is a sub-set of axiology.
This video: Not so aesthetic 😐
The information is interesting and helpful but the way is presenten is too heavy on the eyes. Your typewriter font is OK for titles, but maybe try to use san-serif for longer text. Also you can divide the long text into smaller paragraphs. Also, the image of the mona lisa of words is too much text everywhere, you can either make it way smaller or leave that space open for the other text to breath. This are just suggestions because I like the info, and I want you to step up your game. Keep it going!
good general information but the presentation is kinda clustered and boring.
Voice is so depressing
Not the video you are looking for brahs... rambling for days.
I am so tired of the convoluted mess of information sources of study on these topics are
Ironically for a video on aesthetics, your voice and manner of 'speaking' is so horrible and irritating that I cannot listen to this video ( or probably, any of your videos). Have you thought about speaking normally?
It is a video on aesthetics, and I would argue that speech patterns are a manner of taste. Some people like certain speech patterns, some like others. Are you trying to claim that there are ways of speaking that are objecttively beautiful? If you don't like my voice feel free to read the subtitles. If you are just here to insult, feel free to go away.
Disturbing voice
If my voice offends your aesthetic sensibilities, feel free to use the captions.
