Aesthetic as Science of Expression and General Linguistic

The book develops a systematic theory that equates aesthetic activity with intuitive, non-conceptual knowledge expressed through artistic form, arguing that intuition and expression are identical and that art constitutes pure knowledge rather than mere feeling or sensory impression. It examines intuition's relation to perception, space, time, sensation, and association, critiques theories that reduce art to imitation, sentiment, symbolic categories, or specialized aesthetic senses, and defends the unity and indivisibility of the artwork. It situates art in relation to philosophy, logic, history, and the will, offering historical commentary and proposals for reforming logic and aesthetic criticism.
