Editing Theories of Beauty (section)

== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> ==
* '''Aesthetics''' — The branch of philosophy that deals with the "Nature of Beauty," "Art," and "Taste."
* '''Objectivism''' — The view that beauty is "In the object" (e.g., 'Symmetry' is 'Factually Beautiful' regardless of who looks at it).
* '''Subjectivism''' — The view that beauty is "In the observer" (e.g., 'Beauty is just a feeling in my head').
* '''The Golden Ratio (Phi)''' — A mathematical ratio (approx 1.618) found in nature and art that humans find "Naturally pleasing."
* '''Disinterestedness''' (Kant) — The idea that to judge something as "Beautiful," you must have "No personal stake" in it (e.g., you 'Like the sunset' not because it 'Gives you money,' but just because it 'Is').
* '''Harmony and Proportion''' — The "Classical" requirements for beauty: the "Balanced" relationship between the parts and the whole.
* '''Neuro-aesthetics''' — The scientific study of how the "Brain" responds to "Art and Beauty" (e.g., the 'Medial Orbitofrontal Cortex' lighting up).
* '''Aesthetic Experience''' — The "Special state of mind" we enter when we are "Absorbed" in a beautiful object.
* '''Mimesis''' — The ancient Greek idea that beauty is "Imitation" of nature's perfection.
* '''Kitsch''' — Art or objects that are "Cheap," "Sentimental," or "Overly Pretty" without having "Depth" or "Truth."
