Summary/Abstract: This article makes the argument and emphasizes that aesthetic education is central for a discussion and critical awareness of affectivity with our self-perception and world relation. Our affective relations are a component in our interaction with others with whom we share feelings and emotions, formed and learned through this interaction. Judgments of taste in which social norms are made explicit demonstrate such an education and emphasize the centrality of aesthetic education for a critical awareness of our self-perception and world-relation.
