 Attempts to identify such an aesthetic mode of attention are well-represented in the philosophical tradition. Kant’s famous claims about judgements of beauty having a first moment of disinterested pleasure are usually read as a paradigm of the attitude-identifying approach (see the entry on  Kant’s aesthetics and teleology),  but Jessica Williams has argued that Kant must also be operating with a notion of aesthetic attention, as being a mode of attention involving a distinctive combination of imagination and understanding (Williams, 2021).
