 The third principal issue that concerned Bosanquet is what happens when a person encounters a work of art, i.e., aesthetic appreciation. In his Three Lectures on Aesthetic, Bosanquet analyses the “aesthetic attitude” which, he says, is an activity not of the mind alone, but of the whole person—“body-and-mind”. (This issue of the connexion of body and mind is discussed at length in Lecture V of The Principle of Individuality and Value.) Although Bosanquet is an idealist, he is an objective idealist, and holds that, like perception, aesthetic experience involves the whole person.
