The Philosophy of the Beautiful (Classic Reprint) by William Angus Knight Pdf
Excerpt from The Philosophy of the Beautiful It may be presented, in the first instance, through a series Of questions, thus - Why do we call any single Object in Nature beautiful? When we go beneath the surface of commonplace admiration, and affirm that any particular thing possesses Beauty, what do we really mean by the assertion? How comes it that one object partakes of Beauty while another does not Is there any fixed relation between the many different Objects which, taken individually, are called beautiful? If so, what is that relation Does the Beauty they partake of separate them from one another? Or does it unite them together? Leaving individual Objects, what is Beauty in itself? Is its essence knowable approximately, or in fragment? Can it be apprehended by us indirectly, if not directly, and be understood through analogy, if not by intuition? In thus stating the problem from various points of view, questions of Science have been mixed up with those Of Philosophy; but, as we proceed, these will be disengaged, and separately handled.

The Philosophy of Art in America, a Dissertation Upon Vital Topics of the Day by Carl Demuldor Pdf
Excerpt from The Philosophy of Art in America, a Dissertation Upon Vital Topics of the Day: Perhaps of All Time It has been said: He is a poor cannot talk about his trade - philosophically, of course l for the great work is not to pull down, but to build up, as in this, humanity finds exceeding great and pure joy. Goethe exclaims, moreover: For eternal truths and lasting emotions one should go to the great writers of the past - true workers in the field Of literary art, all of them, - Who have outlived the changes of taste and time! Now as poet and sage combined in one, commend us to Solomon himself, not only the wisest of men, but ever evincing a most remarkable taste and fondest liking for the beautiful in Nature and in Art. For what can be more truly aesthetic, and certainly giving a leading and invaluable idea in decorative art - to say nothing of a highly appreciated suggestion to a landscape painter - than is to be found in the full significance of his familiar but imperishable proverb, A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of Silver?

Excerpt from Aesthetics: A Study of the Fine Arts in Theory and Practice This work, then, is the result of the application to aes thetic theory and artistic practice of two realistically meta physical postulates: one, that there is a value in the world corresponding to what we experience as the feeling of the beautiful, responsible for the arousal of that feeling but at the same time ontologically independent of all such effects or interactions with human beings; two, that such independ ent aesthetic value is analyzable into relations of structure and function, so that for every value there is a relation, or structure or function, or a set of them, and conversely. The topic chosen could very well be described as the nature of art, with due regard for the many and varied meanings of 'nature'. The aim has been to emphasize the ontological lack of difference between art and other parts of nature. In this work - the chapters on psychological aspects included ontology is deemed to be central to all questions of aesthetics and art.

The Philosophy of Art: The Question of Definition by Tiziana Andina Pdf
Drawing on the philosophies of art developed by the continental authors and studies of Anglo-American philosophers, this book presents a panorama of the philosophy of art. It discusses definitions offered from the analytical school including Arthur Danto's representationalism, Dipert's theories of artefactualism, Dickie's institutional and procedural theories and Levinson's historical and cultural theories. From the continental theories it reflects on Hegel's notion of philosophy of art, Martin Heidegger's and Hans Georg Gadamer's hermeneutic tradition and Alexius Meinong's theory of objects. This range of definitions and theories are judged and defended using a form of representationalism that begins with the results of Arthur Danto's thinking and integrates the aesthetic reflection of the Baumgarten School. The result is not only a presentation of philosophy of art from the beginning of the twentieth century to present day, but a study that proposes a theory capable of synthesizing the finest contributions of the analytic and continental traditions.

Discussions on Philosophical Questions (Classic Reprint) by John Lafayette Girardeau Pdf
Excerpt from Discussions on Philosophical Questions As to the Discussions themselves, their main purpose is to advance the Scottish school of philosophy. They are not intended to be a system in themselves. This book is really a supplement to Hamilton's Metaphysics, in connection with which it ought to be studied. It seeks to correct what is considered incorrect in Hamil ton; to develop more fully his system; and to bring it down to the present time - answering the obj eetions and refuting the errors of opposing systems in their latest expressions. These discussions were prepared by the author in his mature years, some of them having been written, and all of them having been revised by him since 1890. They fairly represent, therefore, his ability, his scholarship, and the final conclusions of his life of study.

The Spectrum of Truth (Classic Reprint) by Alfred Bowyer Sharpe Pdf
Excerpt from The Spectrum of Truth The following pages have no pretension to be a history of philosophy, or to discuss or appraise the merits of different theories. All that is aimed at is to provide a conspectus within the smallest possible compass, of the characteristic attitude of the chief philosophical systems towards the great speculative questions with which philosophy is directly concerned. Recent, and regrettable theological controversies have turned mainly upon certain great questions that fall strictly within the province of philosophy, and some simple apparatus such as is here provided is a necessary equipment for those who have made no special study of the subjects, but desire to form an Opinion of the merits of the questions at issue. And it is hoped that the condensed form of this slight sketch may be of use even to students of philosophy by bringing into prominence certain points of agreement and harmony which are for the most part overlaid and obscured by lengthy disquisitions, but which show clearly in a mere map of the country.

What Is Philosophy (Classic Reprint) by Edmond Holmes Pdf
Explore some of the most fundamental questions of philosophy in this short but powerful book. Originally published in 1905, Edward Gore Alexander Holmes' What is Philosophy is the author's essay on the nature of philosophical discourse. Holmes was an educator, a poet, and a philosopher, and was well-regarded in his time for the contributions he made to the educational-sphere, where his views were considered progressive. In this book's 83 pages Holmes attempts to answer some of the biggest, but also most fundamental, questions about philosophy. For example, the essay opens with a discussion of the nature of truth, and the suitability for the philosopher to seek out truth. Frequent comparisons are made between the scientist, the artist, and the philosopher, and the strengths and limitations of each in the pursuit of greater understanding. It is a refreshing viewpoint assumed by Holmes, one that lends an air of weight to the work of artists and academics. There are many questions posed in What is Philosophy, and any student of philosophy will see value in its study. This essay would in fact make for an excellent Philosophy 101, as it serves as an excellent introductory point to modern philosophical thought, while still remaining interesting for those with a broader background in the topic. Even those not keenly interested in the study of philosophy may enjoy this read, primarily as an extended thought exercise. For while Holmes poses many questions, there are fewer answers. "There are no indisputable premises in Philosophy," Holmes says. "What is indisputable for one man, is doubtful for another, meaningless for a third, incredible for a fourth. The personal element is sure to assert itself, and cannot be eliminated." Whether you are a seasoned student of philosophy or somebody looking for their introduction into philosophical readings, What is Philosophy is a worthwhile read.
