Okay, you've convinced me I blew it when I used the word 'real' in the
following. My putting scare-quotes around it doesn't exonerate me.
" What I hope to get back to on the forum is this: Is the feeling we
generally call an "aesthetic experience" as "real" and sui generis a secondary
sensation as fear or anger?"
What I should have said is something more like:
"What I hope to get back to on the forum is this: Can e reasonably consider
the feeling we generally call an "aesthetic experience" to be a secondary
sensation like fear or anger?" What I was after was suggesting that an
"aesthetic
experience", without quite being a "primary sensation" like "red" or "hot", is
as involuntary and sui generis as fear and anger and hatred and love and our
celebratory feelings when our guy hits the winning home runs in the last of the
ninth.
