Abstract:
Aesthetic Emotions caused by the perception of an Artworks (music, painting, literature, architec-ture, dancing, etc.) represent the enigma, since they are quite individual and caused by (generally) no rational reasons. However, the individual concept of Chef-D’oeuvre, that is the effect of ‘goose bumps’, is sincere and objective since could be measured by skin sensors. In our previous works, we have proposed so- called Natural-Constructive Cognitive Architecture that is represented by the complex multilevel combination of various-type neural processors. Being based on this architecture, we have argued that the Aesthetic Emotions are connected with activation of the ‘halo-neurons’, those that correspond to atypical (rare) attributes of the real objects. It was shown that the personal feeling of Chef-D’oeuvre could be caused by the ‘recognition paradox’ effect, when the artwork seems similar to well-known patterns but is still unusual. In this paper, we consider certain social aspects of this concept’s formation. It is shown that this process is also paradoxical and largely similar to the process of individual learning.
