This talk explores the slippages between ancient Mesopotamia's system(s) of aesthetics and Western philosophical aesthetics, with particular attention to Immanuel Kant's Critique of Judgment and William Hogarth's The Analysis of Beauty. It also explores Mesopotamia's visual arts as art for the senses, that is, art designed for and intimately entangled with bodily, sensorial, and emotional experiences.
