“…In English, Aristotle’s four causes have typically been called: (a) the formal cause (structure, pattern, system of relationships); (b) the material cause (elements, components, substrates); (c) efficient cause (the forces that produce an object, generative triggers); and (d) the final cause (purpose, function, telos ). For example, the formal cause of a bronze statue is its shape or structure (see Falcon, 2016); the material cause is bronze metal; its efficient cause is the art of bronze casting; and its final cause is aesthetic enjoyment of the statue (or laudation of the personage characterized by the statue).…”

Philosophers of aesthetics universally agree that visual and auditory stimuli may be considered beautiful. Divergently, controversy greets the question "Can olfactory or gustatory experiences be conceptualized as beautiful?" In Study 1 participants inhaled Joy® perfume applied to a cotton pad for 30 s and immediately completed the AESTHEMOS (Schindler et al., 2017), a scale measuring aesthetic emotions. Results indicated stronger prototypical (feeling of beauty and liking, fascination, being moved, and awe), pleasing (joy, humor, vitality, energy, and relaxation), and epistemic (surprise, interest, intellectual challenge, and insight) aesthetic emotions, and fewer negative aesthetic emotions (feeling of ugliness, boredom, confusion, anger, uneasiness, and sadness), were elicited by the perfume compared with a no-scent control condition. Results showed 36% of participants found some beauty in the perfume experience. Study 2 showed significantly higher prototypical and pleasing aesthetic emotions, and less negative aesthetic emotions were stimulated by a Werther's caramel candy compared with a control condition (an unflavored sugar cube); and 45% of participants found some beauty in the taste. In both studies the findings were unrelated to participants' levels of trait appreciation of beauty, as measured by the Engagement with Beauty Scale-Revised (EBS-R; Diessner, Pohling, Stacy, & Güsewell, 2018). In Study 3 we found that when the EBS-R predicted the response to an artwork, it did not predict gustatory beauty; and when the EBS-R predicted olfactory beauty, it did not predict the beauty of an artwork. Thus, the general trait of appreciating beauty, as measured by the EBS-R, may not extend to olfactory or gustatory beauty. The results are discussed in the context of philosophical approaches and empirical aesthetic research.

Thanks to James K.O. Chong Gossard and John Rundell who supported the nomadic beginnings of this work during my doctoral studies at the University of Melbourne. Many thanks to Roger Scott and Penelope Buckley for their unwavering generosity in keeping me housed and fed at many crucial moments. Thanks also to Louis Ruprecht Jr. for feeding my enthusiasm and keeping it buoyant. A thousand thanks and more to Despoina Koi for looking after the boys and giving me the boon of uninterrupted time. Thanks too to the boys for interrupting me with such boisterous jollity. Maria Krystalidou and Elina Niarchou, ευχαριστώ πουλάκια μου, σας αγαπώ. The entire project would be inconceivable without my father's unswerving love and interest in things of the mind and things of the earth. I have never seen him refuse to engage in an argument no matter how unconventional, I have never seen him too tired to read another book or too busy to answer my questions about the composition of rocks or the identification of trees. I dedicate this book to him, because I know he will get more pleasure out of it than anyone, if only because it was his daughter who wrote it. Finally, many thanks to the whole team at Open Book Publishers!The research for this book was conducted thanks to the Jessie Webb scholarship (University of Melbourne), during my stay at the British School at Athens, the Irish Institute of Hellenic Studies at Athens, and using the wonderful resources in the libraries of the American School of Classical Studies and French School at Athens.

Perhaps in what has been lost there is a chance of rediscovering a ground from which to resist and destroy the forces that occupy and with increasing aggression seek to manipulate the archaic frontiers of life.
