If you like this kind of discourse, check out what the medieval Indians have to say about aesthetics from the View of non-dual Shaiva Tantra, and the concept of "rasa" (aesthetic sentiment). A good book to start with this is Tantra Illuminated, by Christopher Wallis. It only spends a short bit explaining rasa from the tantric perspective, but it very much comes from a similar stream of ideas as, "Aesthetic vision apprehends the universe as an immanent field of living forces. All of reality is ensouled, willful, alive. Small wonder, then, that works of art present the world as innately sentient."
