| Summary: | A key relevance of aesthetics of religion derives from advanced theory of mind that acknowledges the fundamental role of embodied, situated, and social cognition. That is to say, the interweaving of practices with a cultural world is substantially realized within an aesthetic dimension. Cultural practices are, in this sense, deeply rooted in sensorial interaction with environments and have to be reconstructed as such. The understanding of basic aesthetic principles and the aesthetic subject is a prerequisite for cultural analysis. This contribution introduces basic analytic categories of body knowledge, and sensorial and material aspects of this interaction, and outlines consequences for an aesthetic epistemology as a theory of cultural knowledge. This approach binds together cultural and cognitive insights. |
