Aesthetic As Science Of Expression And General Linguistic (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161420227)

""Aesthetic As Science Of Expression And General Linguistic"" is a philosophical treatise written by Italian philosopher Benedetto Croce. First published in 1902, the book explores the nature of aesthetics, or the study of beauty and art, as a science of expression. Croce argues that art is not just a matter of subjective taste, but rather a universal language that communicates emotions and ideas. He also discusses the relationship between language and art, asserting that all forms of artistic expression are ultimately rooted in language. Throughout the book, Croce draws on examples from literature, music, and visual art to illustrate his points. ""Aesthetic As Science Of Expression And General Linguistic"" is considered a seminal work in the field of aesthetics and has had a significant impact on subsequent philosophical and artistic thought.Historical intellectualism has been the cause of the many researches which have been made, especially during the last two centuries, researches which continue to-day, for a philosophy of history, for an ideal history, for a sociology, for a historical psychology, or however may be otherwise entitled or described a science whose object is to extract from history, universal laws and concepts. Of what kind must be these laws, these universals? Historical laws and historical concepts? In that case, an elementary criticism of knowledge suffices to make clear the absurdity of the attempt.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
