Aesthetics in the philosophical sense deals primarily with the visuals, because philosophers used to favour eyesight as the strongest of senses. The discipline of aesthetics dwells at the surface of philosophy, because it deals with the visible aspect of reality, particularly visual art. It is probably the easiest to grasp in contrast to other philosophical disciplines but it still preserves all philosophical insightfulness and deep scrutiny.

The course is a journey presenting the principles of aesthetics being created and applied from the furthest beginning to modern time. It is primarily set in the European tradition. However, it does mention the modern worldview currently influencing both art and people's minds originating from United States and having its roots in other cultures, in the bonus material.

There is also additional section discussing postmodernism and its relation to modernism.

This course does not make any reference to aesthetics in dentistry or in plastic surgery. Though, certain aesthetic aspect or principles may be deduced from de course based on somebody's ability to comprehend it on one's own effort.

Aesthetics: the Philosophical Blueprint of Art covers the philosophical fundamentals of aesthetics you should ever need. It is a source of numerous implicit hints on how to deepen or specialise your knowledge if you feel like expanding it even further. It discusses initial motivations for the existence of the discipline, explains aesthetic patterns, which beauty is just a passing part of, goes beyond the concept of beauty, and even attempts to grasp modern aesthetic notions.
