Aesthetics concerns the nexus: the senses. It's more boring than sexy uses of the adjevtive- aesthetic- would lead one to believe. That said, learn what you can about Epicurus and the subsequent Epicureans-- as good a place to start as any.

you want to get way into beauty mang, then you need to get deep into de esoteric nature of terror

and not terror as any sort of personal state or event, but way deep in with the nature of the terrific as a quality which subjugates and engulfs and renders meaningless the notion of quality as a property that is only because it isn't what it isn't and is what is---do you get what I'm saying here mang

if you can't or won't or don't accept beauty as a form of terror where loss of identity and the collapse of qualitative differentiation is imminent then I can only leave you with this Eliot quote to ponder 'pon, my very good mang

>...I was neither
Living nor dead, and I knew nothing,
Looking into the heart of light, the silence.

think on that mang, and you know Eliot rolled hard as fuck my mang--see below for evidencia holmes, even Rilke thought the buey was nails ya

>He hangin' out the window, I hold the wheel There's one black, one white, we shoot to kill That fuckboy life about to be repealed
-Pynchon, quoting Rilke's description of his good friend TS's way he do, to describe the dynamic between Joyce and Pynchon himself,
