Croce, Benedetto 1866-1952 creator Ainslie, Douglas 1865-1948 text utu 2017 monographic en 1 online resource : multiple file formats "Æsthetic as Science of Expression and General Linguistic" by Benedetto Croce is a philosophical treatise written in the early 20th century. This work explores the concept of aesthetics as a science of expression, emphasizing the relationship between intuition, expression, and art. Croce examines how intuitive knowledge informs artistic creation while critiquing the notions of art as mere imitation of nature or as a vehicle for conveying concepts. The opening of the text establishes the foundational concepts of intuitive knowledge and its independence from intellectual knowledge, arguing that true intuition culminates in expression. Croce asserts that artistic expression is not merely the replication of reality but rather a dynamic process that shapes our perceptions and understanding of the world. He critiques existing theories that reduce art to mere emotion or abstract thought, positing instead that intuition and expression are inherently linked. This foundation sets the stage for a deeper exploration of art's role in human experience and its integration with philosophy throughout the work. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
