A discussion of sensibility, sensation, perception and painting,
Scotland and the Origins of Modern Art is an original work which
argues that the eighteenth-century Scottish philosophy of moral
sense played a central role in shaping ideas explored by figures
such as Cezanne and Monet over one hundred years later. Proposing
that sensibility not reason was the basis of morality, the
philosophy of moral sense gave birth to the idea of the supremacy
of the imagination. Allied to the belief that the imagination
flourished more freely in the primitive history of humanity, this
idea became a potent inspiration for artists. The author also
highlights Thomas Reid's method in his philosophy of common sense
of using art and artists to illustrate how perception and
expression are intuitive. To be truly expressive, artists should
unlearn what they have learned and record their raw sensations,
rather than the perceptions that derive from them. Exploring the
work of key philosophical and artistic protagonists, this
thought-provoking book unearths the fascinating exchanges between
art, philosophy and literature during Enlightenment in Scotland
that provided the blueprint for modernism.
