While Aesthetes are typically considered art critics or critics of the ‘times’, the definition goes far beyond that; they consider it to be a way of life in itself. The Greeks experienced flow experiences, and after implementing this approach over and over again, they began to love beauty and beautiful things. Around 500 BCE, the "Greek symposium" reached its peak of popularity as a special evening dinner party where guests overstimulated all their senses to create an enriching environment. They hoped to stimulate their imaginations to lead them to a higher order of thinking by burning incense, listening to music, viewing art, and drinking wine.
