Opis

The presented book is a direct sequel to the previous collections of studies "The Cognitive Aspects of Aesthetic Experience - Introduction" (2017) and "The Cognitive Aspects of Aesthetic Experience - Selected Problems" (2019), and represents the culmination of the project which examines whether it is possible to identify the cognitive aspects or purposes in aesthetic judgments and in the perception of beauty, and whether it is possible to meaningfully establish cognitive aesthetics as a unified scientific discipline (philosophy united with a cognitive approach), studying the epistemic background of beauty and art.
