Aesthetics

Aesthetics is a branch of philosophy that explores the nature of art, beauty, and taste, with the creation and appreciation of beauty.

You'll learn about the philosophical theories of beauty, the role of aesthetics in culture and society, and the critical evaluation of artistic expressions. Broaden your understanding of aesthetics as an artist, designer, philosopher, or simply as someone who appreciates the intricate relationship between beauty and human perception.
