It is a great pleasure to welcome you to my website, where you can read articles on many different subjects, all based on what I have learned from Aesthetic Realism.  Aesthetic Realism is the philosophy founded by the great American poet and critic Eli Siegel.  Study of it made my life truly happy and I want every person to know the new, true, and just way of seeing the world that it teaches.  Aesthetic Realism is based on these principles by Eli Siegel: 

One, Man's greatest, deepest desire is to like the world honestly. Two, The one way to like the world honestly, not as a conquest of one's own, is to see the world as the aesthetic oneness of opposites.  Three, The greatest danger or temptation of man is to get a false importance or glory from the lessening of things not himself; which lessening is Contempt.
