It's only in our minds. maybe you can communicate it, I can't. I can only feel it and express it to myself, It exists in my mind and yours in your mind, also. It's not science yet, its art. ab

Let me try to understand you. My quick take on your comments lead me to conclude that you think there is such a reality as beauty but it is entirely subject to each individual's whim or belief. In that case it can't be defined or communicated. If it can't be defined and communicated, can it exist? You can't have it both ways. If ugly things are simply statements of belief without independent evidence and are purely individual, how can we be sure they exist except as someone's unsupported belief or fantasy? wc ----- Original Message ---- From: ARMANDO BAEZA <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Fri, December 3, 2010 9:56:47 PM Subject: Re: "...A shift in aesthetic judgment that replaced the classical "this is beautiful" with "this is art"." Art is still a matter of individual or group taste, last time i checked. The subjects/objects/things/words/colors/sounds/forms etc,,or anything that is sensed still applies. Beauty and ugly still occupy the same space, separated only by the individual minds. These are conclusion reach by time,which may be baseless to all others.

What reasons do you have? It would help if you elaborated instead of just confirming or denying some view. wc ----- Original Message ---- From: ARMANDO BAEZA <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Fri, December 3, 2010 1:29:19 PM Subject: Re: "...A shift in aesthetic judgment that replaced the classical "this is beautiful" with "this is art"." Not so. Both still apply, but with a deeper understanding. The object continues to be expressed.
