This book addresses aesthetics from a process philosophy perspective
to highlight how even the perception of fixed objects, such as
painting and drawing, depends on the intertwining and layering of a
range of processes. Drawing on philosophers within the process
tradition, the book argues that the visual arts and aesthetics need to
directly address speed differentials in vision and the material
medium. In doing so, it rephrases questions in aesthetics – which
often involve perduring objects, substances or even eternal ideas –
in terms of durational differences. From this perspective, aesthesis
constitutes the confluence between visual finitude and the broader
movements of material becoming. Visualising an Aesthetics of Process
is essential reading for all scholars, researchers and advanced
students of aesthetics and metaphysics.
