Aesthetic Realism taught me to ask this great question: How is aesthetics present in the ordinary moments of our lives—not only when we're at a museum or gallery, but also when we're on the subway, cooking a meal, choosing what to wear, thinking about the galaxies or about love? That's what the present blog is about.

Aesthetic Realism Online Library!
I'm so glad to say that there is now an exciting new online resource for anyone who wants to learn more about Aesthetic Realism, the philsophy founded by Eli Siegel. It is the Aesthetic Realism Online Library. By clicking on www.AestheticRealism.net, you can read poems and lectures by Eli Siegel, chapters from various books about Aesthetic Realism, Mr. Siegel's reviews of many books, originally published in Scribner's Magazine, his poetry and criticism, many issues of the journal The Right of Aesthetic Realism to Be Known, including commentary by Ellen Reiss, the Class Chairman of Aesthetic Realism, and much more! This is an amazing compilation of work that shows what Aesthetic Realism truly is--and I encourage anyone who wants to learn about this beautiful and intellectually exact philosophy to read what is on the Aesthetic Realism Online Library!
