Aesthetic As Science Of Expression And General Linguistic

Beschreibung

A spark of clarity meets the artistry of thought. Aesthetic As Science Of Expression And General Linguistic invites readers into a conversation where beauty, meaning, and form are not separate but interwoven. Benedetto Croce's early twentieth century meditation on art and language asks how expression in art becomes a record of inner truth, and how general linguistics can illuminate the philosophy of aesthetics. The book surveys the structure of meaning and form, tracing how perception and idea shape creative expression, while situating these concerns within the Italian philosophical context and the influence of Henri Bergson. For philosophy students, scholars, and curious readers alike, it offers a rigorous yet accessible path into aesthetic theory and linguistic philosophy, with implications for both theory and practice. This edition preserves the work's intellectual urgency for today's readers, emphasising its historical significance and enduring relevance. It is a work of literary reverence as well as scholarly insight, a reference for those engaged in philosophy, literature, and the arts. Casual readers will find a humane, humanised approach to complex ideas, while collectors will value its place in the lineage of early modern thought. Selling points: out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions; restored for today's and future generations; more than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. A precise, resonant contribution to philosophy of aesthetics, aesthetic theory, and linguistic philosophy that rewards ongoing study.

Autor

Benedetto Croce was an Italian philosopher, historian, and politician born on February 25, 1866, in Pescasseroli, Italy. Renowned for his work in philosophy, historiography, and aesthetics, Croce was a key figure in the development of idealism and made significant contributions to the philosophy of history. He believed that historical knowledge is shaped by contemporary thought and that history is not merely the recounting of past events but an ongoing process of interpretation. Croce's political views were rooted in liberalism, and he formulated a distinction between liberalism and "liberism," emphasizing individual liberty and democratic values. His works span various fields, influencing both intellectual thought and political discourse in Italy and beyond. Croce was influenced by figures such as Giovanni Gentile and Karl Marx, though he diverged in his approach to philosophy and politics. He had a notable family life, being married to Adele Rossi in 1914 and fathering several children, including Lidia Croce and Alda Croce. Croce passed away on November 20, 1952, in Naples, Italy, leaving behind a legacy as a prominent philosopher and historian who shaped 20th-century thought.
