Cultivating Aesthetic Taste in the Philosophy of Art

Abstract

Abstract

Art is not known until it appears in the consciousness of its recipient. In this sense, aesthetic reception acts as a form of revival and emergence for what is present but needs to become apparent. Art is a meeting point for both the intellect and the emotions. Since reception is a condition for artistic beauty, it obliges us to explore its possibilities in terms of taste, which reflects the subjectivity in the pursuit of beauty. This can be discussed through the philosophy of art, as it is the most suitable domain for addressing such issues. Given that education itself is a form of philosophy, with every philosopher being, in some way, an educator, we must consider aesthetic taste in a way that allows us to understand the reasons behind taste and its aesthetics within the philosophy of art. Consequently, we should strive to be aware of the aesthetic judgments made by those experiencing the act of reception.
