Aesthetics – as a dimension of society and a component of spatial theory

Abstract

The title of this paper suggests three things. First, that society’s issues are multidimensional i.e. society being a multidimensional system in a way that each dimension undergo the totality of society’s. These dimensions hold together social systems of various kinds and it is mistaken for a researcher to privilege any particular dimension (biological over cultural, or economic over political). Second, aesthetic, as the realm of cognitive and subjective, is one of society’s dimensions. This allows us, for example, to search for aesthetic component of (spatial) action or historical component of aesthetic judgment. And third, in order to grasp multidimensional complexity of society, a part from various data, we also need different theories i.e. logically organized set of statements concerning some kind of problem.

Dimension

In physics and mathematics, the dimension of a mathematical space (or object) is informally defined as the minimum number of coordinates needed to specify any point within it. Thus, a line has a dimension of one (1D) because only one coordinate is needed to specify a point on it - for example, the point at 5 on a number line. A surface, such as the boundary of a cylinder or sphere, has a dimension of two (2D) because two coordinates are needed to specify a point on it - for example, both a latitude and longitude are required to locate a point on the surface of a sphere.

Data

In common usage and statistics, data (USˈdætə; UKˈdeɪtə) is a collection of discrete or continuous values that convey information, describing the quantity, quality, fact, statistics, other basic units of meaning, or simply sequences of symbols that may be further interpreted formally. A datum is an individual value in a collection of data. Data is usually organized into structures such as tables that provide additional context and meaning, and which may themselves be used as data in larger structures.

Aesthetics

Aesthetics (also esthetics) is the branch of philosophy concerned with the nature of beauty and the nature of taste; and functions as the philosophy of art. Aesthetics examines the philosophy of aesthetic value, which is determined by critical judgements of artistic taste; thus, the function of aesthetics is the "critical reflection on art, culture and nature". Aesthetics studies natural and artificial sources of experiences and how people form a judgement about those sources of experience.
