Aesthetic appreciation(as used in discussions of what education should teach): The ability to recognize and enjoy beauty in art, nature, and other things—understanding why something is beautiful or moving.
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.).
Categorically incompatible(describes the relationship between bodily pleasure and aesthetic judgment): Completely unable to exist together or mix; fundamentally opposed in a way that makes them mutually exclusive.
Kant(as used in epistemology and metaphysics): Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) was an influential German philosopher who argued that our minds shape how we experience reality, and that we can only truly know things as they appear to us, not as they are in themselves.
