Aesthetic As Science Of Expression And General Linguistic (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162651576)

""Aesthetic As Science Of Expression And General Linguistic"" is a book written by Benedetto Croce that explores the relationship between aesthetics and language. The book argues that aesthetics is not just the study of beauty, but rather the study of all human expression, including language. Croce proposes that language is the fundamental form of expression and that all other forms of expression, such as art and music, are derived from language. He also argues that language is not just a tool for communication, but rather a way of experiencing the world. The book is divided into two parts: the first part explores the nature of aesthetics and the second part focuses on the relationship between aesthetics and language. Croce's ideas have had a significant impact on the fields of aesthetics and linguistics and continue to be influential today.Historical intellectualism has been the cause of the many researches which have been made, especially during the last two centuries, researches which continue to-day, for a philosophy of history, for an ideal history, for a sociology, for a historical psychology, or however may be otherwise entitled or described a science whose object is to extract from history, universal laws and concepts. Of what kind must be these laws, these universals? Historical laws and historical concepts? In that case, an elementary criticism of knowledge suffices to make clear the absurdity of the attempt.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
