The Foundations of Aesthetics

I A Richards,C K Ogden,James Wood (Pennsylvania State University)

""The Foundations of Aesthetics"" by I.A. Richards is a comprehensive exploration of the nature of beauty and art. The book delves into the philosophical and psychological aspects of aesthetics, examining the ways in which people perceive and appreciate art. Richards argues that aesthetics is not only concerned with the sensory qualities of art, but also with the emotional and intellectual responses it elicits. He explores the role of language in aesthetics, and how it is used to express and communicate aesthetic experiences. The book also considers the relationship between aesthetics and morality, and the ways in which art can influence ethical behavior. ""The Foundations of Aesthetics"" is a seminal work in the field of aesthetics, and is essential reading for anyone interested in the nature of beauty and art.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
