Excerpt from The Theory of Taste Founded on Association: Tested by an Appeal to Facts
Lord Jeffrey (the lively, and very able author of the article Beauty in the Supplement to the Encyclopaedia Britannica) has observed, that the words beauty and beautiful must mean some thing, and are universally admitted to mean something much more definite than agreeableness or gratification in general; and while it is by no means easy to define what that something is, the force and clearness of our perceptions of it, is de monstrated by the readiness with which we de termine, in any particular instance, whether the object of any pleasurable emotion is or is not pro perly described as That every one has a clear perception of what he may chuse to call Beauty, without being able to tell what it is, is not to be wondered at while men continue to believe Beauty to be something sui generic.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores beauty and sublimity, two significant concepts in aesthetics. The author challenges the prevailing theory of association, arguing that our perception of beauty and sublimity primarily stems from specific qualities inherent in forms, colors, and sounds. Challenging the notion that beauty and sublimity are solely derived from our associations, the author asserts that these qualities can be objectively perceived and assessed. Drawing on a range of examples, the book examines how forms, such as those found in architecture and nature, evoke emotional responses. It also delves into the relationship between our perception of beauty and sublimity and our broader understanding of the world, demonstrating how these concepts are deeply intertwined with our experiences and cultural contexts. Through its exploration of beauty and sublimity, this book provides valuable insights into the nature of our aesthetic experiences and challenges conventional wisdom on the subject. It is a thought-provoking work that encourages readers to reconsider the origins and significance of their aesthetic judgments. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
