My Definition of the word aesthetics,
Aesthetics is the philosophy of art and the theory of beauty, it involves making something the object of artistic judgment. Which is caused by our mind and emotions judging the objects beauty. Aesthetics examines what makes something beautiful, sublime, disgusting, fun, cute, silly, entertaining, pretentious, discordant, harmonious, boring, humorous, or tragic. The way we individually judge a object to be beautiful or repulsive, is contributed by our own moral values, emotions, desires, memories etc. Plato for example felt that beautiful objects incorporated proportion, harmony, and unity among their parts. Similarly, in the "Metaphysics" Aristotle found that the universal elements of beauty were order, symmetry, and definiteness.
