INTRODUCTION Beauty is a concept of humanity we find in all cultures. Esthetics is the science and practice dedicated to beauty. Bazon Brock stated that what we call ‘esthetics’ is the theory of the conditionality of our perceptions and judgments and their applicability in our relations to others. Objects as materializations of abstract statements - i.e. esthetic objects - obtain their meaning because man is obliged to create equivalents in the world of objects in order to be able to communicate and to establish meaningful relations with others. Therefore, the differentiation between esthetic judgment and the justification of the judgment is necessary. Individual esthetic judgment only expresses a person's ability to become aware of the totality the materialized object refers to. The objects do not contain totality itself. This has to be constituted through the mediation of the subject. As stated in Arts Connected for African arts, the answer to the question ‘What is art?’ is not the same for all cultures. The idea of special objects made as ‘fine art’ is not common to all cultures. In some cultures, what Westerners have traditionally called ‘art’ represent principles that guide every thought and action. Esthetic traditions are visible in everything such a culture produces, including functional objects.1 Brock stated: In the middle of the eighteenth century Alexander Baumgarten, the founder of modern German esthetics, used the term for following statements: though man's physiological structure is the same for everyone, different people pass different judgments about the same objects. Human perception and its transformation into judgments obviously depends on social conditions in man's development.2 As Roberts stated: “Culture is socially shared. Culture patterns are shared by human beings living in organized groups and are kept relatively uniform by social pressures. Culture represents the ideal forms of behavior. The group habits that comprise the culture are viewed as ideal patterns of behavior. Culture is gratifying. Culture satisfies human needs and in this sense is gratifying. Culture is integrative. The part of a given culture and to form a consistent and integrated whole.” 3 Foucault made in What is Enlightenment? (Qu'est-ce que les Lumières?) the statement that knowledge in form of opinions is already available in contemporary culture: “Today when a periodical asks its readers a question, it does so in order to collect opinions on some subject about which everyone has an opinion already; there is not much likelihood of learning anything new. In the eighteenth century, editors preferred to question the public on problems that did not yet have solutions. I don't know whether or not that practice was more effective; it was unquestionably more entertaining.”4 Access to Esthetics in this Book When we ask for the definitions and forms of esthetics from a post-modern Perspective, we must take into account that the perspective of today is a re-constructive one allowing us to trace back historically, but also can engage into systematical forms of research such as empirical research, or quantõtative and qualitative research. This book is devided into four chapters. Each of them has a different approach towards esthetics according to the definition of esthetics as a theoretical field, esthetics as a phenomenon of beauty, and esthetics as a specific phenomenon in a certain cultural context. Our method facing the phenomenon of esthetics will consist in the first part of this book in an analysis of the parts of terminology and physical conditions necessary to describe esthetic phenomena. Therefore, we will also focus on the contemporary state of research regarding esthetics from branches of the humanities and natural sciences. Our interest here is to join the classical theoretical terminology of esthetics derived from the humanities with contemporary concepts of research also not related to the humanities. Based upon this conjunction we can be able to communicate in both directions –empirically and in terms of the humanities – about esthetic phenomena. In the second part we will focus on the applied eshetics expressed in beauty. Therefore we will look at traditional fields of esthetics – the arts- as well as other groups of objects, since mainly esthetics in the perspective of an applied –or better said- attached quality 5 of objects is not related to only a specific group of objects. The third part contains a historical review regarding the relation between European culture and esthetics, while the last part is related to esthetics and its cultural background in non-European cultures. These last two parts are intended to serve as a conjunction between cultural assets and their theoretical (philosophical, ideological, and religious) esthetic background system. The background in empirical sciences will serve as the tool for empirical research on esthetics. The tradition of the humanities gives us the terminology to describe esthetic phenomena. The research question of this study for the third and forth part is: Which mind concepts underlay the esthetic concepts in different cultures and different epoques. Therefore we will examine the basic terminology of the concepts as the linguistic background, on which the concepts are based. Practical studies in the applied fields of esthetics such as arts are another way to get access to the local concepts of esthetics. Esthetics as Empirical Science and as a Branch of Philosophy Methods of Research in Esthetics: Between Empirical Studies and Theory In the 21st century, esthetics is subject to interdisciplinary studies. From a philosophical perspective, an esthetic idea cannot become cognition, since it is an abstract concept that stands next to the real phenomena.5 Traditional esthetics assumes that universal and timeless criteria for the evaluation of taste of works of art exist.6 The metaphysical esthetics of the German idealism was criticized as an ordered esthetics.7 Philosophical concepts interpret among other things the so-called ‘esthetics of the ugly’ as a higher form of beauty.8 We can differentiate between several methodological approaches to esthetics:

So all of a sudden it happens my favorite song ended up as number one, and lets face it… WOW, who knew anything about Celine Dion back in 1988? The Swiss entry, ”Ne partez pas sans moi” stole the crown this year at the end of the voting, thanks to Yugoslavias jury for some reason agreed with the French singer Gerard Lenorman that his entry was of the same class as ”My way” (”Comme d´habitude”). And I can imagine that the UK singer Scott Fitzgerald was a bit surprised over the outcome. In ans case, not only Celine Dion started her way to success this year, also Lara Fabian entered, but for Luxembourg. So how did my list compare to the final result this year. We had some really good entries but 1988 must be seen as a middle year even if songs like ”Pu og peir”, ”Nauravat Silmät muistetaan”, ”La chica que yo quiro” and ”Ka du se hva jeg sa”. Sweden sent our number one musical star Mr Tommy Körberg who went from the stages of the London musical scene to Eurovision (his second try) and for Swedish media it was all in the bag, Eurovision from Sweden 1989.. It turned out to be very wrong and the Swedish delegation blamed Tommys bad cold and voice problems.

  • History of Chess from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia for the Book by H
    History of chess From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For the book by H. J. R. Murray, see A History of Chess. Real-size resin reproductions of the 12th century Lewis chessmen. The top row shows king, queen, and bishop. The bottom row shows knight, rook, and pawn. The history of chess spans some 1500 years. The earliest predecessor of the game probably originated in India, before the 6th century AD. From India, the game spread to Persia. When the Arabs conquered Persia, chess was taken up by the Muslim world and subsequently spread to Southern Europe. In Europe, chess evolved into roughly its current form in the 15th century. The "Romantic Era of Chess" was the predominant chess playing style down to the 1880s. It was characterized by swashbuckling attacks, clever combinations, brash piece sacrifices and dynamic games. Winning was secondary to winning with style. These games were focused more on artistic expression, rather than technical mastery or long-term planning. The Romantic era of play was followed by the Scientific, Hypermodern, and New Dynamism eras.[1] In the second half of the 19th century, modern chess tournament play began, and the first World Chess Championship was held in 1886. The 20th century saw great leaps forward in chess theory and the establishment of the World Chess Federation (FIDE). Developments in the 21st century include use ofcomputers for analysis, which originated in the 1970s with the first programmed chess games on the market. Online gaming appeared in the mid-1990s.

  • Dice Chess 8 by Tony Berard
    Dice Chess 8 By Tony Berard I have invented a number of board games in which people can become world class players. My Dice Chess series of games is the focus of this article. The rest of my games are awesome, too. So, don’t get me wrong there. One major benefit the ease of manufacturing my Dice Chess series of games is the basis for my endorsement of this series of games. So far in the Dice Chess series of games, I have Dice Chess 8 and Dice Chess 10. In this book, I will discuss Dice Chess 8. The number after the words “Dice Chess” refer to the size of the board. Thus, Dice Chess 8 is played on an 8x8 board. Dice Chess 10, then, would be played on a 10x10 board. How to play Dice Chess 8 This is the same board as a chess board. Notice that a white square is on the right side as viewed from White’s perspective. Next, this is the initial setup of the Dice to begin a game. Just like chess has a starting position, Dice Chess 8 has a starting position. Notice also that the files and ranks are labeled. Where the pawns would be in chess we see a row of white 2’s and a row of black 2’s. The rook spots have 5’s, and they descend inwards to 4’s and 3’s. Where the queen would be, we see a 6. And, the blank die is where the king would be in chess.

Komodo is a chess program that is dierent from the rest. Its search makes greater use of extensions than any other top engine, which allows Komodo to often see deeper than any other engine, even if it is displaying a slightly lower search depth. The evaluation diers from its main rivals because it represents a blend of both automated tuning and the judgment of grandmaster and computer expert Larry Kaufman. Fully automated evaluations are subject to rather large sample error, and applying some chess judgment appears to be benecial, both in results and in the reasonableness of reported evaluations.
