Download or read book The Sense of Beauty written by George Santayana and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sense of Beauty: Being the Outlines of AEsthetic Theory This little work contains the chief ideas gathered together for a course of lectures on the theory and history of aesthetics given at Harvard College from 1892 to 1895. The only originality I can claim is that which may result from the attempt to put to gether the scattered commonplaces of criticism into a system, under the inspiration of a naturalistic psychology. I have studied sincerity rather than novelty, and if any subject, as for instance the excellence of tragedy, is presented in a new light, the change consists only in the stricter application to a complex subject of the principles acknowledged to obtain in our simple judgments. My effort throughout has been to recall those fundamental aesthetic feelings the orderly extension of which yields sanity of judgment and distinction of taste. The influences under which the book has been written are rather too general and pervasive to admit of specification; yet the student of philosophy will not fail to perceive how much I owe to writers, both living and dead, to whom no honour could be added by my acknowledgments. I have usually omitted any reference to them in foot-notes or in the text, in order that the air of controversy might be avoided, and the reader might be enabled to compare what is said more directly with the reality of his own experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Aesthetics, or the Science of Beauty The following Lectures were written with a desire to supply the want of an exclusive and compact treatise on the principles of taste. So many principles have been established in the department of beauty, so much of the mind's action in this direction is understood, as to entitle the subject to distinct consideration; and, at the risk of some offence, we have ventured to style our work AEsthetics; or, The Science of Beauty. It has been our aim to combine and present in a systematic form those facts and principles which constitute the department of taste, and, as far as may be, to make good its claim to the rank of a distinct science. In so doing, we have striven to render a service to the general reader, and yet more to this branch of instruction. The present edition is corrected and enlarged as the result of further thought, and new opportunities of observation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Science of Beauty: As Developed in Nature and Applied in ArtMY theory of beauty in form and colour being now admitted by the best authorities to be based on truth, I have of late been often asked, by those who wished to become acquainted with its nature, and the manner of its being applied in art, which of my publications I would recommend for their perusal. This question I have always found difficulty in answering; for although the law upon which my theory is based is characterised by unity, yet the subjects in which it is applied, and the modes of its application, are equally characterised by variety, and consequently occupy several volumes.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Psychology of Beauty Classic Reprint written by Ethel D. Puffer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Psychology of Beauty is a work authored by Ethel D. Puffer allows readers to immerse themselves in some of the early research into aesthetics and beauty. The Psychology of Beauty consists of a series of eight essays, each dealing with a separate aspect of the subject matter. Several of the essays previously appeared in The Atlantic Monthly and The International Monthly, and thus each essay can be read independent of the others. Together, Puffer's book examines the psychology of beauty in a number of different mediums: fine art, music, literature, nature and dramatic works. The author's goal throughout is to explain how and why we find certain works to be beautiful, and to educate the reader in order to better recognize beauty in works of art and the world at large. Ethel D. Puffer is a skilled writer and is able to build compelling arguments throughout her essays. The Psychology of Beauty is an illuminating work and one that has clearly been well researched. A careful reading of this book will provide readers with an enhanced skill-set for better appreciating the works of art they choose to consume. It is rare to find a work that can help you better appreciate other forms of art, but this is one such work. The Psychology of Beauty is a fascinating read for anybody truly interested in the appreciation of art and its beauty. Puffer's series of essays are informative and entertaining, and thus this work is recommended for anybody with a view to wanting to further there appreciation of fine art.

Book excerpt: This book provides a clear and informed account of aesthetic and callistic concepts as they occur in the works of Plato and Aristotle. The author illustrates their ideas on art and beauty by close reference to their texts and finds a profound similarity which unites them, revealing many of their differences to be complementary aspects of an essentially similar viewpoint. He also shows how Greek notions of art and beauty are not merely primitive steps in the advance to modern ideas but have a direct relevance to modern critical controversies.

To teach all the pathway lead ing to the acquirement of beauty has been our main object, and we feel we have accomplished a purpose not hitherto attained.

The reader should understand from the beginning that the best authorities agree in the belief that there is no method whereby a woman may gain, preserve, or regain beauty solely from the outside While there are certain things which will enhance the physical charms, there must always be a foundation of sound physical condition underlying the outside treatment and supporting it. All beauty comes from within, says a well-known French writer, and this axiom is heartily agreed to by the present writer.
