Abstract

science is an objective method to study the world. therefore, it has to be , in principle, independent from any type of subjective judgments and preferences. Aesthetics, udgment, on the contrary, is based on subjective tastes. this is the reason why foe a long period of time philosophers believe that there can be no relation between science and aesthetics. logical positivists, for instance, held the claim that scientific propositions directly imply to the objects and events of the world. Reichnbach said even if aesthetic sense were to be proved to have a role in this or that particular scientist's creativity,yet what is finaly important for scientific methodology is the objective justifiction of a theory. i.e the way a theory or a set of scientific propositions imply to the objects and events of the world. However, in recent decades, there has been a shift in the point of view of philosophers of science. and the relationship between aeshetics and science has become an attractive and serious subject for the field.

the main goal of this research is to survey the relaionship between aesthetics and science throught both scientist's and philosopher's point of view. we take this survey in five levels : practical, methodological, production, thematic, and explainatory level.
