Excerpt from Introduction to the Philosophy of Art

Baumgarten's philosophy of art is based upon the recognition of obscure ideas. These obscure ideas, which precede clear ideas, do not belong to the sphere of logic, and require an entirely different treatment. While clear ideas are truths known, obscure ideas are truths only felt. The apprehension of clear ideas culminates in the true, While the true that discloses itself to us through our obscure ideas is the beautiful. This fundamental conception called the beautiful Opened a new region for reflective speculation; and furthermore gave it philosophical import, which hitherto it had lacked.
