Aesthetic as Science of Expression and General Linguistic
Produced by Charles Aldarondo, Tiffany Vergon, Beth Trapaga and PG Distributed Proofreaders
"Aesthetic as Science of Expression and General Linguistic" by Benedetto Croce is a philosophical treatise written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the nature of aesthetics, the process of expression, and their relationship with intuition and art. Croce critiques the separation of artistic intuition from other forms of knowledge, arguing for a unified theory that encompasses both artistic creation and intellectual thought. The opening of the text introduces Benedetto Croce’s views on intuitive knowledge as distinguished from logical knowledge. He asserts that human knowledge consists of two forms—intuitive (aesthetic) and logical (intellectual)—and emphasizes the independence and significance of intuitive knowledge in understanding the nature of art. The text highlights that true intuition is inherently tied to expression, suggesting that to possess an intuition is to have already expressed it in some form. Croce aims to establish a framework that intertwines aesthetics with the broader philosophical inquiry, believing that art is a profound expression of human experience that transcends mere imitation of nature.
