Functional Beauty, Perception, and Aesthetic Judgements
British Journal of Aesthetics 53 (1):41-53 (2013)
Abstract
The concept of functional beauty is analysed in terms of the role played by beliefs, in particular expectations, in our perceptions. After finding various theories of functional beauty unsatisfying, I introduce a novel approach which explains how aesthetic judgements on a variety of different kinds of functional objects (chairs, buildings, cars, etc.) can be grounded in perceptions influenced by beliefs.Author's Profile
