Aesthetics

Aesthetics

Aesthetics or esthetics (also spelled æsthetics) is commonly known as the study of sensory or sensori-emotional values, sometimes called judgement of sentiment and taste. More broadly, scholars in the field define aesthetics as "critical reflection on art, culture and nature."Aesthetics is a subdiscipline of axiology, a branch of philosophy and is closely associated with the philosophy of art. Aesthetics studies new ways of seeing and of perceiving the world.

Something I found interesting in wiki. And why haven't I thought of majoring in philosophy... oh yes... as if a Malaysian philosopher can ever survive in Malaysia... >___> He/she will more likely succeed in becoming the bomoh or those seng sei. Reality sucks.
