Synopsis

Aesthetics: Or The Science Of Beauty is a book written by John Bascom and originally published in 1867. The book is a comprehensive exploration of the concept of beauty and aesthetics, and it delves into the various philosophical and psychological theories that have been developed to explain the nature of beauty. Bascom begins by defining beauty and examining its various components, including form, color, and expression. He then explores the role of perception in the experience of beauty, and discusses the different ways in which people respond to aesthetic stimuli. Throughout the book, Bascom draws on a wide range of sources, including ancient Greek philosophy, contemporary psychology, and his own observations and experiences. He also examines the relationship between beauty and morality, and considers the ways in which aesthetic values can shape our understanding of the world. Overall, Aesthetics: Or The Science Of Beauty is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of one of the most fundamental aspects of human experience. It remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the nature of beauty and the role it plays in our lives.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The following Lectures were written with a desire to supply the want of an exclusive and compact treatise on the principles of taste. Though the literature of this subject is voluminous, there is no work which gives itself singly to a systematic statement of the nature of beauty, and of its primary and fundamental laws. Eames s Elements of Criticism, so long used in academic and collegiate instruction, contains matter which belongs to several distinct departments, and is not a complete or thorough presentation of the subject of taste, for which it has been chiefly relied on. IS omany principles have been established in the department of beauty, so much of the minds action in this direction is understood, as to entitle the subject to distinct consideration; and, at the risk of some offence, we have ventured to style our work Esthetics; or, The Science of Beauty.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
