This paper aims to clarify characteristics of aesthetic experience of blind people.Aesthetics has long treated the blind as people who have extraordinary ability of senseof touch under the strong influence of Molyneux's problem. As Derrida advocated, senseof touch has played a fundamental role in the tradition of Western metaphysical thoughtbecause it can grasp an essence directly without any interference of preconception. Thisstudy questions this connection between blind people and sense of touch by conductingfield research.The result of interview shows that blind people rather tend to avoid to touch objectsby hand so as to follow the code of conduct of sighted people. Instead, they like to useanother sense modality such as audition or sense of smell. Of course they sometimesrely on sense of touch too, but the way of using it is completely different from whataesthetics has expected to be.This misunderstanding about blind people was strengthened because aesthetics hasreferred to them only in the limited context and has paid little attention to their real life.This paper argues the possibility of aesthetical approach to handicapped people andevaluates its significance from the viewpoint of disability studies.
