Synopsis
This book is the author's extensive study of the aesthetics of art, drawing a boundary around this fragment of philosophy and exploring its vast sources of wealth. The author suggests that human nature is a borderland between two vast empires, with essential spirits on one side and the material world on the other. Art, in this definition, becomes a region of pleasure that attempts to satisfy both. Through an examination of sensation, emotion, and intellect in tandem with the role of taste and beauty, the author seeks to open a path to the literary appreciation of art. It is concluded that art's most important element, beauty, is an emotion, with antecedents residing in an intellectual state of mind and deriving from perceptions of relation between primary pleasure and the things suited to produce it. The author explains that the beautiful does not require an object to be virtuous or morally sound, emphasizing that the beauty of an emotion or an object is not an estimation of its utility but an elevation of its form.
