This video is the second in a series of three on the general nature of aesthetics. It looks at the ways that it might be possible to argue that aesthetic experience is either inaccessible or irrelevant to ordinary people, in spite of it’s centrality with regard to our embodiment.

What is Aesthetics? Why bother? (Part 2/3)
@DikeEris – Indeed. And, yes, a great deal of classical Asian thought looks (as it were) in this direction. I'm going to be putting up a video soon on the 11th century Philosopher/Aesthetic Abhinavagupta & his ideas on "Rasa".
Hi Seth, where can I find your video on Abhinavagupta?
@ThePlayspace, the Abhinavagupta video has been backed up with the rasa stuff. It's coming, but you might have to be a little patient. I really do apologize for the delay.

the aesthetic experience produces content important to individual minds. If we want to understand the world and it inhabitants aesthetic experience is important.
