Abstract
By focusing on sensory experience in Aesthetics, which is not always associated with positive feelings, Arnold Berleant analyzes the question of why and how Aesthetic values are negative, so that the scope of Aesthetics goes beyond "Beauty" and its application in the field of art. And because Aesthetics is an experimental thing for Breleant, in order to open up this domain, he does not categorize the Aesthetic moods (positive and negative) and deals with identifying the Aesthetic moods. Therefore, Brerleant names sensory experiences that do not have a positive value as the "underside of beauty". By introducing the characteristics of negative criticism in the field of art, Brerleant reveals the extent of negative Aesthetics and its various forms in relation to art criticism. One of these types is what is commonly called "Bad Taste". By explaining the relationship between ethics and negative Aesthetics, the possibility of social and moral evaluation of artistic objects and environmental pollution is presented to the audience, and by passing positive Aesthetics, a new topic under the title "negative Aesthetics beyond art" is provided for study.
