The Function of Reason in Aesthetic Experience
DOI: https://doi.org/10.46938/tv.2010.50
Abstract
The study considers Whitehead’s conception of the Reason (articulated especially in his The Function of Reason) as a regulative factor in every aesthetic experience along with Whitehead’s opinion of the basic aesthetic character of every experience. These thoughts are compared with contemporary findings of neuroaesthetics and the Reception aesthetics, in order to demonstrate how stimulating Whitehead’s philosophy is even for the present-day aesthetics.
