What is aesthetic feeling?

In aesthetic activities, objective beauty produces psychological activities and processes such as pleasant feelings, appreciation and evaluation on aesthetic subjects. Also called aesthetic feeling. In the field of sexual aesthetics, aesthetic feeling is a psychological process of pleasure, appreciation and aesthetic evaluation of beauty objectively existing in sexual aesthetic objects by aesthetic subjects. Aesthetic consciousness in a broad sense refers to aesthetic consciousness, that is, the dynamic reflection of aesthetic objects in people's minds, which includes all aspects and manifestations of aesthetic consciousness activities such as aesthetic interest, aesthetic ability, aesthetic concept, aesthetic ideal and aesthetic feeling. Beauty in a broad sense is in the field of sexual aesthetics, that is, aesthetic consciousness. Aesthetic feeling is intuitive. When people are in contact with beautiful things, they often feel the beauty of things directly without serious thinking, logical reasoning or theoretical argumentation. Aesthetic feeling has this intuition, on the one hand, because aesthetic objects are always tangible; On the other hand, because people's aesthetic experience can always leave memories in their brains and store them, long-term aesthetic habits can also form conditioned reflex. In this way, when the information of beauty is introduced into people's brain, it can immediately arouse aesthetic memory, cooperate with aesthetic conditioning and produce aesthetic feeling. The intuition of aesthetic feeling does not mean that there is no rationality in aesthetic feeling. In fact, aesthetic feeling is the unity of perceptual knowledge and rational knowledge, which is expressed in the form of sensibility.

Aesthetic feeling is perceptual. People's aesthetic activities are always accompanied by likes and dislikes, full of emotional color, especially in sexual aesthetics. The emotional nature of aesthetic feeling is determined by the infectious nature of beauty. The emotion of aesthetic feeling is not an isolated emotion divorced from thought and reason, but an emotion permeated with reason and guided and regulated by reason. Especially in sexual aesthetics, only the aesthetic feeling of unity of reason and emotion is the guarantee of sexual aesthetic health. There are individual differences in aesthetic feeling. Beauty exists objectively, but when people appreciate beauty, they are faced with the same aesthetic object, and their aesthetic feelings are often not exactly the same. Even if the same person has different time and space for the same aesthetic object, they will have different aesthetic feelings. This is the individual difference in aesthetic activities, or the subjectivity of aesthetic feeling. The personality difference in this aesthetic activity is entirely caused by the difference of subjective conditions of aesthetic subjects, including psychological factors such as aesthetic ability, cultural and artistic accomplishment, life experience, thoughts and feelings, moral concepts, specific mood and attention. Therefore, aesthetic activity is also a test of aesthetic subject. A person's cultural accomplishment, ideological realm and moral sentiment will be fully displayed in aesthetic activities, especially in sexual aesthetics. Aesthetic feeling also has the characteristics of times, nationality and class. Aesthetic feeling is not only influenced by the individual differences of aesthetic subjects, but also restricted by social conditions such as the times, nationalities and classes in which aesthetic subjects live. Therefore, in addition to the individual differences of aesthetic feeling, it also has the characteristics of times, nationality and class, which is the times, nationality and class of aesthetic feeling. As a social practice, aesthetic activity is bound to be restricted and influenced by social economy, politics, culture, customs and other factors. With the changes of the times, the economy, politics, culture and customs of the society have also changed, which is reflected in the aesthetic practice and manifested in the times of aesthetic feeling. The national characteristics of aesthetic feeling are also very obvious. A nation is a stable isomorphism formed by people in history, with the same language, the same region, the same economic life and the same cultural and psychological quality. Influenced by these same conditions, members of the same nationality will inevitably show some similar factors in their aesthetic activities, which constitute distinctive national characteristics for other nationalities. Class differences will also be manifested in aesthetic activities.

Aesthetic feeling has the same sex. Although there are individual, epochal, national and class differences in aesthetic activities, we cannot absolutize these differences. In fact, even the aesthetic subjects of different times, nationalities and classes can often find some similar or similar aesthetic feelings for the same aesthetic object, which is the * * * same sex in aesthetic activities. There are many reasons for this homosexuality. From the perspective of aesthetic objects, some aesthetic objects have no or few differences in class, nationality or times, such as natural beauty, formal beauty and some works of art with weak or vague ideological and political tendencies. As far as aesthetic subjects are concerned, even if they belong to different classes, they can still have certain aesthetic interests, habits and ideals because they live in the same era or nation. People in different times certainly have different aesthetic consciousness, but as the product of human historical development, aesthetic consciousness still has historical inheritance. There are also differences and factors that influence and penetrate each other among ethnic groups.
