Summary

Minai develops the idea that an aesthetic value is not necessarily an objective value reasoned by rationality. 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.

Aesthetics, Mind, and Nature Summary

Aesthetics, Mind, and Nature: A Communication Approach to the Unity of Matter and Consciousness by Asghar Minai

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.
