Diotima's Children is a re-examination of the rationalist tradition
of aesthetics which prevailed in Germany in the late seventeenth
and eighteenth century. It is partly an historical survey of the
central figures and themes of this tradition But it is also a
philosophical defense of some of its leading ideas, viz., that
beauty plays an integral role in life, that aesthetic pleasure is
the perception of perfection, that aesthetic rules are inevitable
and valuable. It shows that the criticisms of Kant and Nietzsche of
this tradition are largely unfounded. The rationalist tradition
deserves re-examination because it is of great historical
significance, marking the beginning of modern aesthetics, art
criticism, and art history.
