20–15459
The book has grown out of lectures to students at the University of Michigan but the author’s appeal is to all people who are interested in the intelligent appreciation of art. For his broader philosophy of art he declares himself indebted to the artists and philosophers of the period from Herder to Hegel, and among contemporaries to Croce and Lipps. Among the contents are: The analysis of the æsthetic experience; The problem of evil in æsthetics, and its solution through the tragic, pathetic, and comic; The standard of taste; The dominion of art over nature: painting, sculpture; Beauty in the industrial arts: architecture; The function of art: art and morality, art and religion; Bibliography.
