The Philosophy of Art in Reid's Inquiry and Its Place in 18th-Century Scottish Aesthetics
Journal of Scottish Philosophy 4 (1):37-49 (2006)
| Abstract | Abstract It is argued that the scattered remarks on the fine arts made in Reid's Inquiry into the Human Mind (1764) present a conception of the relation between perception and the fine arts that is at once compatible with and different from Reid's mature theory of art in Of Taste (1785). This alternative account of art-relevant perception also points beyond the limits of a philosophy of art developed according to the traditional theory of taste dominant in 18th-century Scottish aesthetic thought, and anticipates certain 20th-century theories | |||||||||
