Aesthetics

Here's an odd thing: there doesn't seem to be an open question argument against a general aesthetic theory. Asking whether a theory of beauty is beautiful seems to be perfectly intelligible.

Maybe it's just a mix of the other four - knowledge, truth, goodness and meaning. Maybe Keats was partly right ...

Something rings true about this, though: a work of art can guide us to something new by way of meaning, truth, knowledge or goodness. It does this without saying - but by showing. We can't 'translate' it, but we can tell stories about it.
