ABSTRACT

It should be made clear at once that in the present author’s opinion, the main value of the studies which we shall be engaged in is to satisfy that ineradicable curiosity that man has about the workings of his own mind, even if he does not think that may serve any practical purpose. How gripping the study of aesthetic enjoyment and beauty can be is shown by the fact that it has been a topic for debate among philosophers and lovers of beauty for over two thousand years.
