means 'sensory perception' or 'direct experience through perception' in a broad sense, and aesthetics established in modern times also remembered this etymological meaning and tried to faithfully inherit it.\u003cbr\u003e From this one thing becomes clear.\u003cbr\u003e Aesthetics does not think of humans in an abstract and idealistic way.\u003cbr\u003e Aesthetics fundamentally focuses on the 'emotional human', that is, the sensual and emotional human, rather than the rational human.\u003cbr\u003e - p.\u003cbr\u003e 30\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As the modern philosopher Heidegger so aptly pointed out, the 'perceived greenness' that humans perceive when looking at a vast meadow and the 'wavelength formula' of light quantifying it are two different dimensions that should never be confused.\u003cbr\u003e The perception of 'blue' is a vivid 'phenomenon' experienced by living humans with their body and mind. \u003cbr\u003eOn the other hand, the formula that quantifies this is the result of reducing this vivid experience to the objective, physical dimensions of light stimulation and wavelength.\u003cbr\u003e Living 'phenomena (experiences)' are not physical or material stimuli, and are by no means something like mathematical formulas.\u003cbr\u003e - p.\u003cbr\u003e 43\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The prototype of aesthetic thought that pursues the 'ideal form' is fundamentally oriented toward visual contemplation.\u003cbr\u003e It is closely connected to the category of 'beauty' and, from an artistic perspective, has a deep affinity with painting, sculpture, and architecture.\u003cbr\u003e On the other hand, the prototype of aesthetic thinking toward 'emotional persuasion' focuses on the powerful influence of musical language.\u003cbr\u003e It touches on the catharsis of emotions and the category of the 'sublime', and artistically it is associated with poetry, oratory, music and dance. \u003cbr\u003eFrom these two archetypes, two central aesthetic categories, 'beauty' and 'sublime', emerged, which formed the two great currents of Western aesthetic history.\u003cbr\u003e - p.\u003cbr\u003e 53\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Aristophanes' speech is the famous 'myth of the half-man'.\u003cbr\u003e Originally, humans were a race of three types: male-male, female-female, and male-female.\u003cbr\u003e Each of these was 'integrated into the form of a single sphere'.\u003cbr\u003e However, Zeus, fearing the immense power and resistance of this united human race, split them in half.\u003cbr\u003e Eros, the god of love, is the most powerful force that governs humans, as he is the desire of each divided half to find the other half and become the original 'one (whole)'.\u003cbr\u003e This mythical story, created by Aristophanes, or rather Plato, is very familiar to us through the movie and musical Hedwig.\u003cbr\u003e - p.\u003cbr\u003e 72\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eShining fascination, wondrous gifts, mutual respect, harmony and reconciliation, and elevation to a higher dimension.\u003cbr\u003e Even if we don't know what happiness is in life, who would turn down these beautiful emotional triggers?\u003cbr\u003e Aren't these the most precious experiences that the human soul can pursue and enjoy?\u003cbr\u003e There was one ancient thinker who explored this point more deeply than anyone else, both metaphysically and aesthetically.\u003cbr\u003e It is Plotinus (205-270).\u003cbr\u003e - p.\u003cbr\u003e 91\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The way beauty appears and acts sensuously corresponds precisely to the way light acts.\u003cbr\u003e The visible universe is the place where God's creation is realized, and this is the process by which God's 'spiritual light' is beautifully revealed and realized through all things in the universe.\u003cbr\u003e Because, as the Epistle of James records, “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights” (James 1:17). \u003cbr\u003eLight is the medium that most fully reveals the sensory certainty and spiritual power of divine beauty.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e

Why do we study it? Professor Ha Seon-gyu of the Department of Art at Hongik University argues that humans possess a deep and fundamental desire for aesthetics. \u003cbr\u003eThis book reveals the true nature of that desire and critically examines the aesthetic theories of masters who have left a distinct mark on the history of Western aesthetics, helping readers approach aesthetics for a humane life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Part 1 contains four essays that attempt to approach ‘aesthetic thinking’ and ‘emotional anthropology.’\u003cbr\u003e First, we analyze the source of the desire for aesthetics, and then we explain why aesthetic experiences and art are important for a human life.\u003cbr\u003e Next, we explain the phenomenological method used in aesthetics to understand human senses and emotions, and the two archetypes of aesthetic thought: 'ideal form' and 'emotional persuasion.'\u003cbr\u003e In Part 2, we will meet the masters of Western aesthetics in earnest. \u003cbr\u003eFrom the ancient Plato, who advocated the exile of poets but paradoxically became the founder of aesthetics, to the modern Lyotard, who once sparked a postmodern debate that shook the world, this book introduces the aesthetic theories and aesthetic reflections of 19 thinkers from the Middle Ages.\u003cbr\u003e An important principle that I have adopted when introducing each thinker is ‘saving hermeneutics.’\u003cbr\u003e Rescuing hermeneutics is an effort to understand that respects the authenticity and internal structure of a transmitted text, but is not satisfied with deciphering its literal meaning, but rather seeks to revive its present meaning as vividly as possible.\u003cbr\u003e Readers will be able to engage in free dialogue with thinkers while enjoying the fragrance of the original text.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eTwo ideological orientations permeate this book:\u003cbr\u003e Passion of Aesthetics and Emotional Anthropology\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAlthough the writings in Parts 1 and 2 differ somewhat in their writing process and character, a common sense of problem and common theoretical ideology permeate the writings.\u003cbr\u003e It is precisely the ‘passion for aesthetics’ and the orientation towards ‘emotional anthropology.’\u003cbr\u003e All the writings in this book can be said to be small confessions about the author's ideals as an aesthetician, namely, his passion for aesthetics and emotional anthropology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The author connects the topic of “philosophy’s desire” from Hegel’s “The Difference between Fichte’s and Schering’s Philosophical Systems” with “the passion of aesthetics.”\u003cbr\u003e The passion of aesthetics, like the desire of philosophy, is seen as a desire that emerges in certain problematic situations.\u003cbr\u003e In mid-18th century modern Europe, when awareness of aesthetics as an independent discipline first emerged, as in any other era, opposition and conflict existed in all areas of life. \u003cbr\u003eThe goals pursued by the passion for aesthetics at this time were to respect and develop individual freedom and equality, individuality and creativity, and the autonomy of scholarship and art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The passion for aesthetics began in modern philosophy, but it also sought to realize the possibilities of thought that had not been fully developed due to the limitations of the times.\u003cbr\u003e The possibility of this reason is ‘emotional anthropology.’\u003cbr\u003e Emotional anthropology is a new academic project that seeks to understand humans through their senses, perceptions, and emotions, rather than through reason or knowledge.\u003cbr\u003e This was a project of a new anthropology that must embrace humanity holistically and in its entirety, a project that is still an unfinished task.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eNot only the aesthetic theories of individual thinkers,\u003cbr\u003e You can systematically understand the flow of Western aesthetics.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eEach chapter introduces the perspectives of each thinker on sensibility and art, but the writings are organized chronologically, allowing readers to understand the development of Western aesthetics.\u003cbr\u003e In particular, by dividing it into four periods: 'Ancient and Medieval Period', 'Renaissance and Early Modern Period', 'Modern Aesthetics Period', and 'Contemporary Aesthetics Period', and then organizing the characteristics of each period separately, it helps to systematically understand not only the aesthetic theories of individual thinkers but also the major trends in the history of Western aesthetics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 'Ancient and Medieval Periods' consists of writings on medieval aesthetics that integrate the aesthetic reflections of leading thinkers based on Christianity, including Plato, who warned of the dangers of poetic imitation, Aristotle, who sought to restore poetic and artistic imitation, and Plotinus, who affirmed the sensory power of light and form. \u003cbr\u003e'Renaissance and Early Modernism' contains the aesthetic reflections of Alberti, who can be said to be a model of integrated intelligence, and Shaftesbury, who led the new harmonious cosmology and humanist movement.\u003cbr\u003e In the 'period of modern aesthetics' (early 18th century to mid-19th century), the aesthetic theories of Baumgarten, Lessing, Harmann, Herder, Kant, Schiller, and Hegel are introduced, and in the 'period of contemporary aesthetics' (mid-19th century to present), the aesthetic theories of Fiedler, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Benjamin, Adorno, Merleau-Ponty, and Lyotard are introduced.\u003cbr\u003e It is impossible to understand the historical development and theoretical achievements of aesthetics without examining those who have made decisive contributions to its development.\u003cbr\u003e Moreover, their aesthetic reflections are not merely a legacy of the past, but a living present, a theoretical source that can produce new aesthetic thoughts at any time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eA domestic researcher surveys the entire history of Western aesthetics.\u003cbr\u003e The first introduction to aesthetics\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThere are already several books introducing the major thinkers in the history of Western aesthetics.\u003cbr\u003e However, most books that provide a detailed explanation of the history of Western aesthetics are translations, and books written by domestic researchers mainly focus on the aesthetics or thinkers of a specific era.\u003cbr\u003e The author wanted to write a book that contained an independent interpretation of the entire history of Western aesthetics by a domestic researcher.\u003cbr\u003e That is, the author wanted to share his unique interests of 'passion for aesthetics' and 'emotional anthropology', which were mentioned earlier, with readers through this book.\u003cbr\u003e All of the essays in this book are 'portraits of thought' written by the author after reading and interpreting the works of the great masters of Western aesthetics.\u003cbr\u003e This book would be even more meaningful if it could remind readers why the thoughts of the masters remain fascinating and important, and if readers were willing to point out the one-sidedness or problems of the portraits included in this book.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe author cites the aesthetics lectures he has been giving for over 10 years as one of the reasons for writing this book.\u003cbr\u003e This book is the fruit of a series of thoughtful reflections born from these questions: \"How can we share the historical development of Western aesthetics and the outstanding achievements of individual thinkers with students in an engaging yet balanced way?\" and \"How can we convey the core content and ideological significance of complex aesthetic theories without boring them while maintaining their depth?\"\u003cbr\u003e This book may be helpful to those who have been interested in aesthetics but found it too difficult to approach.
