Module 3 : Art & Aesthetics in Design
  Lecture 6 : What is Aesthetics; ‘Cognition and Laws of Beauty’; What is Neuroesthetics
 

Perception of beauty does not have bearing to purposefulness. It may be appreciated without any purpose. Appreciation of an object does not reflect its purposefulness . Beauty is a concept that is beyond any purposeful justification. Realization of aesthetic beauty is not related to any material or object. It emits its essence because it is there. One feels and enjoys aesthetic experience through feelings and realization. However, aesthetics is a relative experience that may vary from culture to culture and person to person.
