Abstract

Aesthetic experience is an altered state of consciousness characterized by a detached absorption in an aesthetic object; it is a pleasant-sometimes ecstatic-liberation from the self and its agenda. I briefly review perceptual-cognitive and affective approaches used by psychologists to understand the phenomenon and suggest the need for a volitional perspective. To illustrate the nature and scope of aesthetic experience, I discuss nine varieties, elicited by different qualities in objects and evoking distinctive responses in perceivers. Over centuries, aesthetic devices have been developed that induce the aesthetic state by manipulating such psychological mechanisms as attention, appraisal, and empathy. I propose explanations for how several important devices operate, and why they are particularly effective in individuals high in the personality trait of Openness to Experience.

审美体验的意志论述。

审美体验是一种改变了的意识状态，其特点是对审美对象的超脱吸收；它是一种从自我及其议程中解放出来的愉悦--有时是欣喜若狂。我简要回顾了心理学家用来理解这一现象的知觉-认知和情感方法，并提出了从意志角度看这一现象的必要性。为了说明审美体验的性质和范围，我讨论了九种不同的审美体验，它们由对象的不同特质引起，并唤起感知者的独特反应。几个世纪以来，人们开发了各种审美工具，通过操纵注意力、评价和移情等心理机制来诱发审美状态。我将解释几种重要的审美手段是如何运作的，以及为什么它们对具有 "经验开放性 "人格特质的人特别有效。
