Research Article: Aesthetic Experience and the Ability to Integrate Beauty: The Mediating Effect of Spirituality
Abstract:
The ability to integrate beauty is the ability to change one’s being through contact with an aesthetic object (or phenomenon). This transformation is multi-dimensional, profound and felt as encompassing the whole being. Ferrucci defines this ability as one of the three components of aesthetic intelligence, along with the ability to perceive beauty in different situations (range of beauty) and the feeling of being deeply moved by beauty (depth of experience).
