All of the great philosophers of the age - Hutcheson, Hume, Smith and Reid - addressed themselves to aesthetic questions. Their inquiries revolved around a cluster of issues - the nature of taste, beauty and the sublime, how qualitative differences operate upon the mind through the faculty of taste, and how aesthetic sensibility can be improved through education. This volume brings together and provides contextual introductions to the most significant 18th century writing on the philosophy of art. From the pioneering study of beauty by Francis Hutcheson, through Hume's seminal essays on the standard of taste and tragedy, to the end of the tradition in Dugald Stewart, we are swept up in the debate about art and its value that fascinated the philosophers of enlightenment Scotland - and continues to do so to this day. 410 0$aLibrary of Scottish Philosophy;$v6 606 $aAesthetics, Scottish 606 $aAesthetics, British$y18th century 606 $aArt$xPhilosophy 606 $aArt and philosophy$zScotland$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aEnlightenment$zScotland 615 0$aAesthetics, Scottish. 615 0$aAesthetics, British 615 0$aArt$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aArt and philosophy$xHistory 615 0$aEnlightenment 676 $a111.850941109033 701 $aFriday$b Jonathan$01535563 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785969903321 996 $aArt and enlightenment$93783877 997 $aUNINA
