Aesthetics

Status: public · Confidence: medium (0.705) · Basis: verified_sources

## TL;DR

Aesthetics studies beauty, art, taste, and aesthetic judgment. This repaired version separates general aesthetics, Kant's account of beauty, and contemporary definitions of art instead of tying unrelated claims to a single Kant source.

## Core Explanation

The article now treats the definition of art as a live philosophical dispute supported by the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. Duchamp and readymades are relevant examples, but they are not used as standalone public claims in this sampled repair.
