Abstract
The term Aesthetic, derived from the ancient Greek aisthanesthai (to perceive), refers to a dynamic and complex set of relationships in human sensory perception. These are the sensory perception of things like nature or art; the feelings aroused by these perceptual experiences; the character (or design) of the experienced things themselves; and the acuity of subjective judgment associated with perceiving these things.
