Aesthetic experience is a rich and pleasing one. The factors that involve in this experience constitute the base of discourse between two schools of thought in contemporary aesthetics. Integrationists, one of these two, believe that factors such as scientific knowledge and cultural conditions are combined with sensational qualities and make the aesthetic experience. The philosophers of the second school disagree with the integrationist position by emphasizing that the perception of beauty is dependant solely on the sensations of the observer (how it looks, sounds, or feels) and not knowing the history or cultural frame-
work of a scene or object. Perhaps the origins of these debates are in the form/content distinctions that formalism claims.
This article, tries to describe the aesthetic experience and its difference with the cognitive experience in the light of some examples. At the end it would suggest that form/content conflict would lead to incoherence in aesthetic object and so it is rejected.
