1959, André Mercier, edited by Alan Bloch, Thought and Being: An Inquiry into the Nature of Knowledge (Studia Philosophica; Supplementum 9), Basel: Verlag für Recht und Gesellschaft, page 141:It is well known that aestheticians insist upon the purity of musical art. This purity is nothing else than the greatest aestheticality realized in that compromise.
1985, Dai Davies, “Cosmetic Surgery: The Aging Face”, in ABC of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, London: British Medical Journal, →ISBN, page 40:Recently a concept of aestheticality has been introduced: just as some people are musical, so others have a highly developed sense of body image and thus are more motivated to have any abnormality in their appearance corrected.
1990, Fredric Jameson, “Conclusions: Adorno in the Postmodern”, in Late Marxism: Adorno, or, The Persistence of the Dialectic, London; New York, N.Y.: Verso, →ISBN, pages 237–238:But if the reproach is not a trivial one – something that would be the case if one argued for the aestheticality of Adorno’s thought simply by denying validity to everything else he ever touched on – then it draws its force from a separation between abstract thinking and ‘mere’ aesthetic representation which must be argued as such (and is, for example, superseded in poststructuralism).
