The book investigates theories dating from the 13th to the 18th
century on the moral indifference of human action with a view to
substantiating the hypothesis of a heterogeneous genealogy of the
specifically modern concept of 'aesthetics'. Aesthetic discourse on
art did not develop of its own self and in its own right but was
essentially based on genuinely moral-theological concepts (or
concepts evolving in the context of moral theology) relating to the
eventuality of human action being adiaphoric in origin. Both in
methodological terms and in conjunction with its subject, this
study proposes an aetiology, rather than a pre-history, of
aesthetic thinking.
