Empirical Aesthetics
Or, Eating a Durian Fruit
(for Phil 6395, ‘Negative Aesthetics’, Spring 2003, Dr.Cynthia Freeland, University of Houston)

The Durian Fruit on my kitchen table.
(Looks like something that belongs in Invasion of the Body Snatchers!)

This fruit weighed over 7 pounds and cost more than $34.00. I purchased it at an HEB store in the Asiatown area of Houston.
