Not illustrated. 1877 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER VIII. THE INTERVENTION OF THE INTELLECT. 1. General Emotional Phenomena of the Intellect. The pleasures and pains which we have hitherto considered are those aroused by normal or excessive function in the peripheral end-organs of nerves, or in the fibres and central endorgans immediately connected with them. But there is a higher class of nervous structures in the human system, whose business it is to correlate and co-ordinate the energies so received, and, where necessary, to liberate--immediately or ultimately--in accordance with the intelligence conveyed by these impressions, new energies which re-act upon the external world in the manner demanded by the circumstances of the case. The functions of such higher co-ordinating structures are known on their subjective side by the name of Intellect. Like all other portions of the sentient system the organs of the Intellect are liable to normal and moderate exercise, subjectively cognized as pleasurable, or to abnormal and excessive exercise, subjectively cognized as painful. It was necessary in the last chapter to touch slightly upon a few of these phenomena, because the central and peripheral organ3 of sight are more closely connected with intelligence, genetically and actually, than any others. But we shall have to enter a little more fully here into the pleasures and pains of the Intellect, regarded as a separate element of iEsthetic Feeling. And first, in accordance with our Usual plan, we will glance briefly at those emotional phenomena of Intellect which do not attain the aesthetic level. Acutely painful feelings of intellectual exercise are rare or o unknown, as might indeed be expected from the peculiarly secluded position of the organs concerned, which almost pre-...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Physiological AEsthetics Why we receive pleasure from some forms and colours and not from others, says Professor Ruskin, is no more to be asked or answered than why we like sugar and dislike wormwood. The questions thus summarily dismissed by our great living authority on Esthetics are exactly the ones which this little book asks, and, I hope, answers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Brain traces the origins of artistic modernism to specific technologies of perception developed in late-nineteenth-century laboratories. Brain argues that the thriving fin-de-siècle field of “physiological aesthetics,” which sought physiological explanations for the capacity to appreciate beauty and art, changed the way poets, artists, and musicians worked and brought a dramatic transformation to the idea of art itself.
Download or read book Psychological Aesthetics written by David Maclagan and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An introduction to the field of psychological aesthetics for art educators, art therapists, psychoanalysts, artists and art lovers, this book re-evaluates conventional philosophical and psychoanalytic approaches to aesthetic qualities themselves, to the kinds of psychological significance they can generate, and to the interweaving of inner and outer realities upon which this depends. Art history tends to see an artist's work in the context of their life and times; psychoanalysis and art therapy tend to see art works in terms of an unconscious' meaning that is beneath the surface of its aesthetic' properties, within the context of the therapeutic relationship. Maclagan draws attention to the intimate connections between the aesthetic qualities of an art work per se, felt out in its material handling, be they attractive, disconcerting or just bland, and a wide range of psychological meanings. Drawing on phenomenology and archetypal psychology, as well as on neglected writers on unconcious aspects of form, Psychological Aesthetics: Painting, Feeling and Making Sense explores this realm of feeling, the different ways in which it is embodied in art and how we can use subjective' strategies to articulate it in words. It will open new perspectives in understanding both the processes of art making and our creative response to its results.

This book was released on 2024-01-01 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Beautiful: An Introduction to Psychological Aesthetics" by Vernon Lee is a groundbreaking exploration into the world of aesthetics and the psychology at the back of our perceptions of beauty. Published in the past due nineteenth century, Lee, a pseudonym for British creator and artwork critic Violet Paget, brings a completely unique mixture of philosophy, psychology, and art criticism to dissect the elaborate nature of beauty. The book delves into the subjective and often elusive concept of splendor, attempting to get to the bottom of the psychological processes that influence our aesthetic judgments. Lee demanding situations conventional aesthetic theories and proposes an extra nuanced knowledge that considers person differences and emotional responses to art and splendor. Drawing on insights from psychology, Lee examines the impact of feelings, cultural influences, and personal studies on our notion of beauty. The paintings stands as a pioneering attempt to bridge the gap among aesthetics and psychology, laying the foundation for next explorations into the intersection of artwork and the human thoughts. Lee's prose is each erudite and available, making "The Beautiful" a treasured useful resource for pupils and lovers alike.

Download or read book Psychologism and Psychoaesthetics written by John Fizer and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1981-01-01 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike studies which confine psychologism to the second half of the nineteenth century, and to an explicit claim of psychology as a ‘Grundwissenschaft’ during that period, this work attempts to trace psychologism's emergence in Greek antiquity, in hedonistic tendencies of the Renaissance, and in British Empiricism. Thus, psychologism figures as a generic concept, embracing a variety of both positivistic and idealistic arguments concerning the localization of normative sciences, particularly aesthetics and literary theory, in psychological space. This study also considers the implicit psychologism of even those psychoaesthetic theories which claimed to be against the exclusive status of psychology. In their actual treatment of aesthetic and literary facts, such theories inadvertently did indeed resort to psychologistic arguments. The position from which I have chosen to look at psychologistically committed aesthetics and literary theory is essentially phenomenological. The author seeks to present psychologism as a central tendency of psychoaesthetics as well as to assert critically psychologism's basic assumptions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though underexplored in contemporary scholarship, the Victorian attempts to turn aesthetics into a science remain one of the most fascinating aspects of that era. In The Outward Mind, Benjamin Morgan approaches this period of innovation as an important origin point for current attempts to understand art or beauty using the tools of the sciences. Moving chronologically from natural theology in the early nineteenth century to laboratory psychology in the early twentieth, Morgan draws on little-known archives of Victorian intellectuals such as William Morris, Walter Pater, John Ruskin, and others to argue that scientific studies of mind and emotion transformed the way writers and artists understood the experience of beauty and effectively redescribed aesthetic judgment as a biological adaptation. Looking beyond the Victorian period to humanistic critical theory today, he also shows how the historical relationship between science and aesthetics could be a vital resource for rethinking key concepts in contemporary literary and cultural criticism, such as materialism, empathy, practice, and form. At a moment when the tumultuous relationship between the sciences and the humanities is the subject of ongoing debate, Morgan argues for the importance of understanding the arts and sciences as incontrovertibly intertwined.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One essay, for example, traces the remarkable feminist appropriation of male-identified fields of study, such as Classical philology. Others address the validation of male bodies as objects of desire in writing, painting, and emergent modernist choreography. The writings shed light on the diverse interests served by a range of cultural practitioners and on the complex ways in which the late Victorians invented themselves as modern subjects."--Pub. desc.
