本文嘗試藉著六個有關亞里斯多德論述美感經驗的命題，來進行探究。六個命題為：一、藝術的目的是提供快樂或理性的享樂。二、對於各種音樂形式所作的區分可視之為判斷其他藝術的判準的一種指標。三、知識的本能、辨認事物的快樂，是更精緻發展藝術的某些樂趣的主要因素。四、藝術的目的是在觀眾的心靈中產生某種快樂的印象。五、藝術是根據一個真實觀念而能生產事物的功能。六、藝術提供一種獨特的快樂。

This article is to inquire Aristotle's six propositions about aesthetic experience. First, the end of the fine arts is to give pleasure or rational enjoyment. Second, the distinction between various forms of music may be taken as indicating the criterion by which one would judge of other arts. Third, the instinct for knowledge, the pleasure of recognition, is there the chief factor in the enjoyment of some at least of the more developed arts. Fourth, the end of fine art is a certain pleasurable impression produced upon the mind of the hearer or the spectator. Fifth, art is a faculty of production in accordance with a true idea. Sixth, the art affords an unique pleasure, an aesthetic enjoyment which is not divorced from civic ends.
