Consciousness Aesthetics by Prof. Takuya Niikawa

【Title】 Consciousness Aesthetics

【Speaker】Prof. Takuya Niikawa, Kobe University

【Abstract】
We can perceive aesthetic properties such as beauty and sublimity in artworks, environmental nature and even ordinary life. How about consciousness? Does consciousness have aesthetic properties? If so, what kind of aesthetic properties conscious experiences can have? If conscious experiences can have some kinds of aesthetic properties, how can we appreciate them? These questions constitute "Consciousness Aesthetics". In this talk, I will introduce consciousness aesthetics as a new field of aesthetics and discuss some of such questions.

i get it shem

today i saw something really funny and thinking back on it now while other people might not view it as funny (even if i recreated it in a movie or something)

i can still appreciate the beauty/novelty of that experience

the aesthetics of emotions

i think thats what you're addressing

i had to stop after a while. it might be an interesting topic, maybe even scientifically supported, but it all sounds like some Deepak Chopra diarrhea. sorry.
