Aesthetics: toward "natural theatricality"

Aesthetics is a branch of philosophical inquiry in which we address questions about beauty, art, experiences with art, and the meaning or significance of artworks. 10 When students are asked to consider the nature of art and their experiences with art, they are motivated to probe the conceptual structure through which they comprehend the world. In so doing, they make distinctions, see connections, and ask thought provoking questions. This process is enhanced by conversations with others who, in similar attempts to make sense of their experience, articulate their beliefs and their reasons for holding them. 11 Questions in aesthetics seldom have absolute answers. For the student this means that multiple perspectives can be considered and a variety of solutions valued.
