Description

Instead, pleasure in and of itself cannot determine whether a piece of art is popular or rejected; rather, the kind, degree, and viewpoint of the artist all influence this decision. According to Joyce's idea, the aesthetic passion is immobile; yet, it does not arouse our love for or hatred of anything; art that upholds this principle is appropriate art, while art that attempts to arouse these emotions is inappropriate. Muhammad Hasan Askari describes the issue of obscenity in art and literature in this book.
