Aesthetic interest is the attention paid to the perceptual aspects of
the world, focusing on surface appearances. Aesthetic interest may be
directed at a variety of man made and natural objects, perceived by any
of the five senses. For example, we may enjoy looking at a mountain
range, listening to the sounds of birds singing, smelling fresh flowers,
feeling the texture of springy heather when we touch it or the taste of
fine wine. It is important to realise that aesthetic interest may be
either positive or negative, to varying degrees, ranging from the mildly
pleasurable to extreme enthusiasm or from mild distaste to complete
disgust.
Aesthetic interest can take various forms and different objects can be aesthetically appealing for contrasting reasons. For example, we may marvel at the formal arrangement of a man made construction such as Stonehenge whilst also appreciate high, jagged mountain ranges for their lack of form and random nature. These are examples of objects that are commonly appreciated aesthetically for the reasons given, however individuals may appreciate an object’s beauty for their own reasons.
Immanuel Kant in his “Critique of Aesthetic Judgement” offered a fundamental account of aesthetic interest. He firstly acknowledged the difference between aesthetic judgements and those that are made by cognitive means. Kant stated that in a cognitive judgement, such as “This is green,” we are applying the concept “green” to the object. In an aesthetic judgement such as “This is beautiful,” no concept is applied but rather we are concerned with how the person who makes the judgement is reacting.
