Publisher's Synopsis
Esthetics is a book written by Kate Gordon and first published in 1909. The book is a comprehensive study of the philosophy of aesthetics, which is concerned with the nature of beauty and art. Gordon explores the various theories of aesthetics, including the classical, romantic, and modernist schools of thought. She examines the role of art in society and the ways in which it can be used to express and communicate ideas and emotions. The book also delves into the psychology of aesthetic experience, exploring the ways in which our perceptions of beauty are shaped by our individual experiences and cultural backgrounds. Throughout the book, Gordon draws on examples from literature, music, and the visual arts to illustrate her arguments and provide a deeper understanding of the concepts she discusses. Esthetics is a seminal work in the field of aesthetics and remains a valuable resource for students and scholars of art and philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
