dc.description.abstractFor Nishida Kitarō and Alva Noë, art and life are deeply entangled, exemplifying how our actions and intuitions shape a world which, in turn, shapes our actions and intuitions. However, both explain how art shapes the individual, but do not describe the underlying mechanisms by which the individual shapes art. Conversely, both explain how the individual shapes art, but do not describe the underlying mechanisms by which art shapes the individual. To address this, the phenomenon of entrainment is offered a concrete mechanism for this interaction. Entrainment is thus described as an open, resonating, dissipating, emergent, and rhythmic system, being a period of emergent synchronization initiated and sustained by the transfer of energy. This dissertation contrasts Nishida and Noë’s understanding of art, and grounds them both in the phenomenon of entrainment. Using comparative analysis and explanatory modelling, it demonstrates how art, life, and entrainment are entangled, and how this entanglement makes us what we are: an aesthetic phenomenon.en
