Preferred term

African aesthetic  

Definition

  • An explication of an African aesthetic requires an operative definition of aesthetic. Admittedly, the term evolved out of the Greek word aesthetikos, which means merely “perceptive,” but the term aesthetic is widely held to connote a philosophy of beauty. [Source: Encyclopedia of Black Studies; African Aesthetic]
