Abstract
On initial reflection, I realized that I was not sure what the word ‘aesthetics’ actually meant. After looking it up in the dictionary1, I am even less sure. I find two definitions:
-
1.
A branch of philosophy dealing with the nature of the beautiful and with judgments concerning beauty.
-
2.
The description and explanation of artistic phenomena and aesthetic experience by means of other sciences.
Keywords

These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
