Flash Aesthesis: a neurophilosophy of aesthetic experience

Following text places in dialogue or applies to a certain conception of aesthetic experience a vast set of experimental evidences extracted from the inquiry of other mental phenomena, in particular the subjective experience of emotions and feelings. Comimg from António Damásio the beam master, the skeleton, the base, the structure of all my argument. My main hypothesis is that certain objects and situations activate cerebral dispositional hyper-spaces associated to the ocurrence of phenomena like sensation of beauty, pleasure and joy. I consider that the emergency of an aesthetic experience must be understood as resulted of a sensible perception that set in motion a somatic-cognitive routine function of the detonation of a pattern of dispositionals neural patterns.
