Explore how art pleases and teaches, and why pleasure lies at the heart of criticism. This concise volume surveys the long debate on the purpose of art, arguing that pleasure is a central, unifying aim across the arts. It contrasts different schools of criticism and explains how music, poetry, painting, and sculpture relate to truth, imagination, and feeling.

In careful,Accessible language, the author traces how critics from Greek to English traditions have treated art as more than mere copy or technique. You’ll see why the idea that art exists to delight has shaped literary and visual criticism for centuries, and how this view evolves in modern thought.

Grounds the claim that pleasure is essential to understanding art.

Compares the roles of imagination, knowledge, and technique across art forms.

Outlines major schools of criticism and their views on the end and value of art.

Highlights the tension between truth, beauty, and enjoyment in creative work.

Ideal for readers of philosophy, literary criticism, and art history who want a clear map of art’s aims and the enduring question: what makes art truly valuable?

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of literary criticism and its potential as a true science. Examining the history of critical thought, the author dissects the dominant schools of criticism, including the Greek, Italian, Spanish, French and German approaches. He argues that while criticism has historically focused on aspects like language, form, and biography, a deeper, more scientific understanding requires a comprehensive and comparative approach. The author critiques the prevailing emphasis on grammar and philosophical abstraction, advocating for a method that balances the intrinsic beauty of art with its inherent intellectual power. He explores the concept of "the hidden soul," suggesting that art, at its core, addresses the unknown and unknowable within us. Throughout the book, the author highlights the need for a new framework of comparative criticism to illuminate the interrelationships between different art forms and to uncover the profound connections between human thought and artistic expression. This book offers a compelling and thought-provoking analysis of the art of literary criticism, ultimately arguing for a more nuanced and scientific understanding of its true potential.
