Wittgenstein and Vermeer
In Rush Rhees' notes on Wittgenstein's Lectures on Aesthetics (I.7), the following passage appears...
"Would it matter if I just said "Yummy!" and rubbed my stomach, instead of saying "This is lovely?"
This remark suggests any number of aesthetic definitions. For example...
"Poetry is yummy language."
