Scott Alexander's Astral Codex Ten explores the multifaceted nature of artistic taste, distinguishing between sensory delight, novelty, and adherence to established artistic conventions. He further categorizes taste by considering factors like an artwork's context and discussion, the viewer's ability to understand it, changing fashions, and its potential to profoundly affect the audience. Alexander argues that a comprehensive understanding of taste requires appreciating these various dimensions, which often become conflated in broader discussions. AI
