Values of Beauty discusses major ideas and figures in the history
of aesthetics from the beginning of the eighteenth century to the
end of the twentieth century. The core of the book features Paul
Guyer's most recent essays on the epochal contribution of Immauel
Kant, and sets Kant's work in the context of predecessors,
contemporaries, and successors including David Hume, Alexander
Gerard, Archibald Alison, Arthur Schopenhauer, and John Stuart Mill
All of the essays emphasize the complexity rather than isolation of
our aesthetic experience of both nature and art; and the
interconnection of aesthetic values such as beauty and sublimity on
the one hand, and prudential and moral values on the other. Guyer
emphasizes that the idea of the freedom of the imagination as the
key to both artistic creation and aesthetic experience has been a
common thread throughout the modern history of aesthetics, although
the freedom of the imagination has been understood and connected to
other forms of freedom in a variety of ways.
