Abstract:
What are aesthetic emotions and how can they be measured? We discuss that these are emotions related to knowledge and to satisfaction of instinct for knowledge. Arguments from cognitive and mathematical models are presented that aesthetic emotions motivate us to acquire and improve knowledge. Cognitive functions of the emotions of beauty and music are discussed. Can aesthetic emotions be measured? The paper discusses possible cognitive mechanisms of aesthetic emotions, existing results, difficulties and opportunities.
