ABSTRACT
The previous chapter also addressed the top-down and bottom-up interpretations of
both the frames of mind and the results of the experimental methods used in both the
cognitive sciences and visual arts. The similarities pointed out in the interpreting of the
experiments in both disciplines not only suggest that the same philosophical argument
guides interpretations for practice but also what most divides these conceptions of
cognitive activity are the differences in the logical systems and the supporting evidence
used to reach and verify their respective claims. Put another way, the sciences seem
constrained to mostly inductive-deductive forms of logic and linguistic modes of
verification, whereas aesthetitions seem equally constrained through the use of mostly
intuitional thought and the perceptual evidence revealed in aesthetic objects and events.
