The Aesthetic Attitude

By Herbert Sidney Langfeld

Book Overview

The Aesthetic Attitude is a philosophical book written by Herbert Sidney Langfeld. This book explores the concept of the aesthetic attitude, which is a way of experiencing art and beauty that is characterized by disinterested contemplation and appreciation. Langfeld argues that the aesthetic attitude is a distinct way of experiencing the world that is different from other types of attitudes, such as the practical or scientific attitudes. He also discusses the role of emotions in the aesthetic experience and the relationship between the aesthetic attitude and morality. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the aesthetic attitude and its significance in our understanding of art and beauty. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in aesthetics, philosophy, and the arts.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
