About This Book

A series of essays and philosophical letters examines the nature and function of art, arguing that aesthetic experience mediates between sensory impulses and moral reason and cultivates freedom and harmony. It develops a theory of beauty and the sublime - unity with variety and a play drive that reconciles sensuous and rational elements - and considers grace, dignity, and the moral uses and limits of form. Sections discuss poetic modes, the stage and tragic art as ethical institutions, and speculative reflections on the relation between animal impulses and the spiritual aspect of human nature.
