Page "Aesthetics" Paragraph 63
from
Wikipedia
Modern aestheticians have asserted that will and desire were almost dormant in aesthetic experience, yet preference and choice have seemed important aesthetics to some 20th-century thinkers.
The point is already made by Hume, but see Mary Mothersill, " Beauty and the Critic ’ s Judgment ", in The Blackwell Guide to Aesthetics, 2004.
Thus aesthetic judgments might be seen to be based on the senses, emotions, intellectual opinions, will, desires, culture, preferences, values, subconscious behavior, conscious decision, training, instinct, sociological institutions, or some complex combination of these, depending on exactly which theory one employs.
