- Summary
- How does art influence us? In 'The subject of aesthetics', Tone Roald approaches aesthetics as a psychological discipline, showing how works of art challenge our habitual ways of perceiving the world. While aesthetics has traditionally been a philosophical discipline, Roald discusses how it is very much alive in the realm of psychology a qualitative psychology of lived experience. But what actually constitutes an aesthetics of lived experience? The book answers that question by analyzing peoples own engagement with visual art. What emerges is that the object of aesthetics is indeed the subject.
