Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Philosophy of Art: An Introduction to the Scientific Study of Æsthetics
These preliminary observations regarding beauty in nature and art, the relation of these to each other, and the exclusion of the former from the sphere of our proper subject, should dispel any prejudice that might regard the limitation given to our science as due only to an arbitrary or fanciful choice. The ultimate ground of this limitation cannot, however, be demonstrated here, as the con sideration of it falls within the science itself, and, therefore, will come later to be more exactly ex plained and established.
But if we thus limit our considerations at the outset, to the Beautiful of Art, we come at once in taking this first step upon new difficulties.
