In The Founding of Aesthetics in the German Enlightenment, Stefanie Buchenau offers a rich analysis and reconstruction of the origins of this new discipline in its wider context of German Enlightenment philosophy. Present-day scholars commonly regard Baumgarten's views as an imperfect prefiguration of Kantian and post-Kantian aesthetics, but Buchenau argues that Baumgarten defended a consistent and original project which must be viewed in the context of the modern debate on the art of invention. Her book offers new perspectives on Kantian aesthetics and beauty in art and science. 606 $aAesthetics, German$y18th century 606 $aEnlightenment$zGermany 615 0$aAesthetics, German 615 0$aEnlightenment 676 $a111/.85094309033 700 $aBuchenau$b Stefanie$01046777 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465394003321 996 $aThe founding of aesthetics in the German Enlightenment$92473953 997 $aUNINA
