Interpretivism

Interpretivism is a philosophical approach that emphasizes understanding the subjective meanings and experiences individuals attach to their actions and beliefs, particularly in the context of culture and aesthetics. It acknowledges that people interpret art and beauty differently based on their backgrounds, emotions, and societal influences. This perspective aligns with Aesthetic Relativism, which suggests that judgments of beauty can vary greatly depending on personal and cultural contexts. In contrast to objective views, Interpretivism values personal interpretation and the idea that reality is constructed through social interactions, making it essential for appreciating diverse aesthetic experiences.
