Aesthetic judgment(Lyotard's appropriation of Kantian aesthetic judgment for the problem of justice.): Judgment that does not produce denotative knowledge about a determinable state of affairs, but refers to the way our faculties interact as we move among modes of phrasing (denotative, prescriptive, performative, political, cognitive, artistic, etc.).
Appetite satisfaction(as contrasted with aesthetic experience): Getting pleasure from basic physical desires like eating tasty food or experiencing comfort, without any deeper meaning or artistic consideration.
Collapsing (categories)(as used in logical arguments): When important distinctions between different types of things break down and disappear, so you can no longer tell them apart.
aesthetic categories(as used in aesthetics and philosophy of art): Ways of grouping or classifying things based on beauty, art, or how they look and feel to us personally.
