Three Lectures On Aesthetic (1915)

""Three Lectures on Aesthetic"" is a book written by Bernard Bosanquet and published in 1915. The book consists of three lectures, each exploring different aspects of aesthetics. In the first lecture, Bosanquet discusses the nature of beauty and its relationship with truth and goodness. He argues that beauty is not merely a matter of subjective taste, but is rooted in objective principles of harmony and proportion.In the second lecture, Bosanquet examines the role of art in society. He argues that art is not simply a form of entertainment, but is essential for the development of a healthy and balanced society. He also discusses the importance of art education and the need for artists to have a deep understanding of the social and cultural context in which they work.In the third and final lecture, Bosanquet explores the concept of the sublime, which he sees as a key aspect of aesthetic experience. He discusses the ways in which the sublime can be expressed in art, literature, and music, and argues that it is a powerful tool for inspiring awe and wonder in the human mind.Overall, ""Three Lectures on Aesthetic"" is a thought-provoking exploration of the nature and significance of aesthetics, written by one of the leading philosophers of the early 20th century. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the philosophy of art and beauty.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
