Example Sentences
- "She has a feeling, she says, that I should be practical with a smitchin of aestheticalness or something about me."
- "Only recently have semioticians shown a renewed interest in aesthetic features of nature. Thus, Sebeok (1981) has studied prefigurements of visual art and music with animals, and Koch (1984) has developed a phylogenetic theory of the evolution of the arts, based on earlier universal theories of aestheticalness (cf. Koch 1971b)."
- "Today one such theory can be found in the work of aesthetician Jan Mukařovský who contends that anything can become the vehicle for the aesthetic function and so anything can become art. Aestheticalness is not connected with the intrinsic characteristics of things, but is something external to them, in this case their usage (the use of the things, no matter what they are) which, at a given time t and in a given space s, a given culture c turns them into art."
