This work delves into the psychological underpinnings of aesthetic experiences, particularly focusing on the concept of beauty and how it relates to mental activities and perceptions. It aims to explore the nature of beauty by examining how it elicits specific responses and emotions from individuals when encountering various forms of art and nature. The opening of the text introduces the author’s intent to provide a non-technical exploration of aesthetics, aimed at readers without a psychological background. Lee discusses the fundamental concepts associated with beauty, highlighting that rather than defining beauty itself, he seeks to understand the mental states triggered when one perceives something as beautiful. He emphasizes the importance of contemplation and subjective experience over practical considerations, setting the stage for a deeper analysis of how our emotional responses to beauty shape our understanding of art and aesthetics throughout the book.
