The term aesthetics is rooted in the Greek term ‘aesthesis’, meaning perception from the senses. When we are attracted by the smell, touch, taste, sound, or looks of some ‘work’, we are, philosophically speaking, directed toward its beauty or artistic qualities. This sensory reaction is generally referred to as aesthetics. By the very nature of our senses, we can react to anything in our immediate lifeworld: people, settings, processes, artifacts, and practices, to name just a few.
