These essays argue that aesthetic experiences can be nurtured at any moment in everyday life, thanks to recent discoveries by researchers in neuroscience, phenomenology, somatics, and analytic philosophy of the mind, who have made the correlations between aesthetic cognition, the human body, and everyday life much clearer. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe essays, by Yuriko Saito, Juhani Pallasmaa, and Richard Shusterman, among others, range from an integrated mind-body approach to chair design, to Zen Buddhist notions of mindfulness, to theoretical accounts of existential relationships with buildings, to present a full spectrum of possible inquiries. By placing the body in the center of design, Rethinking \u003cem\u003eAesthetics\u003c\/em\u003e opens new directions for rethinking the limits of both essentialism and skepticism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ritu Bhatt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415534747\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415534741\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/14\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Ritu Bhatt","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48658857132287,"sku":"9780415534741","price":255.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rethinking-aesthetics-ritu-bhatt-9780415534741","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
