How do interdisciplinary aesthetics relate to spirituality? – Quora
Aesthetic experience is complex so one field cannot encompass it. The same is true for spirituality. Interdisciplinary aesthetics can encompass different fields and disciplines depending on the nature of aesthetic experience. In terms of spiritual aesthetics, the context can be auditory like azan and bells, spatial like Mecca and Jerusalem, can involve sense of touch like ablution and baptism. These can be aesthetic experiences for believers because they touch the core of their transcendent identities. I think neuroscience, psychophysics, anthropology, complexity science all play role in defining and describing spiritual notions of beauty.
