Aesthetics, Mind, and Nature: A Communication Approach to the Unity of Matter and Consciousness - Hardcover

 
9780275942960: Aesthetics, Mind, and Nature: A Communication Approach to the Unity of Matter and Consciousness

Synopsis

Minai develops the idea that an aesthetic value is not necessarily an objective value reasoned by rationality. Beauty is a matter of chance and necessity in the nature of things, a matter of the order of things and the circumstances of their interconnections, or predictable and unpredictable forces. To know such a complex system we need to establish a view of phenomenology and hermeneutics, a world view where bad and good and ugly and beautiful are part of a continuum of changes and differences. In that world view, it is essential to have an understanding of mind, nature, and the epistemology of knowing.
