Sensual Or Aesthetic

Baumgarten interprets aesthetics in his rationalism traditions and his own experience of art,and he proposes a new term "aesthetics",which is a science that studies "sense"(aesthetics).In Baumgarten,sensibility can be divided into two kinds.One is external from his body and its sensory organs.And that is a distinct sensory sensation.The second is the interna produced in their own mind and consciousness.And that is a undistinct(confused)sensory feeling.The sense in the general sense only means the first meaning,while ignoring the second meaning.Baumgarten speaks of aesthetics in the sense of the second layer,he believes that the real sense of the field of things can achieve a perfect,so that beauty and perfection are linked together,so the beauty assumes a cognitive function."Aesthetics" is actually a cognitive ability.Baumgarten's intention is not to build an aesthetic discipline,but to deal with the division of knowledge and truth.In fact,Baumgarten in his first academic work,the doctoral thesis "Philosophical Meditation of Poetry" in the last part of his philosophy system,added a new discipline that is to study the kind of undistinct of the sense knowledge,to re-adjust the knowledge of the system.In such a sense knowledge included poetry art objects,aesthetics and poetry art is connected together,but aesthetics that is different from art can not ignore the philosophy of aesthetic attributes.Baumgarten explains the problem of aesthetics by the case of universal poetry,and it can be said that all the poetry is to talk about the problem of the philosophical epistemology.Baumgarten thought this undistinct feeling derived from the lower cognitive ability of people.In fact,these are people's aesthetic capabilities,including:sense,imagination,perspicaciousness,memory,invention,foresight,judgment,anticipation,characterization of these nine skills.Unlike Leibniz and Wolff,Baumgarten advanced to a inferior cognitive ability and a superior cognitive ability in a dimension parallel relationship,rather than the merits of the relationship.This sense of feeling is not distinct,but it is true.Baumgarten then made real aesthetic and logical truth.Metaphysical truth and objective truth,appear in reason there,can be proved by logical means,that is the logic of truth,it relates to the object.And it appears in the analogue of reason and low-level cognitive ability,that is aesthetic truth.It relates to the subject.Aesthetics that is the study of human feeling ishow to get real.This feeling is real,and that is aesthetic perfection.As a master of aesthetics,Kant pays attention to the Baumgarten's thought as early,and his influence had been well received.Finally he wrote the history of aesthetic masterpiece-"Critique of Judgment".Kant's aesthetics of Baumgarten's inherited,and what's is more criticism.A basic criticism is that Kant argued that Beauty can not be obtained through cogntion.And beauty by obtaining through reflective judgment must go beyond the level of experience,...
