mecanismo psicológico subjacente ao gosto

"A grasp of the psychological mechanism behind taste will not necessarily change our sense of what we find beautiful, but it can prevent us from reacting to what we don't like with simple disparagement. We should know to ask at once what people lack in order to see a given object as beautiful, and can come to appreciate their choices, even if we cannot muster any personal enthusiasm for them."           ALAIN DE BOTTON / JOHN ARMSTRONG                (Alain de Botton /John Armstrong ,"Art as Therapy", Phaidon, New York/London, 2013)
