ABSTRACT
The word "feeling" is one of the richest in meanings in philosophic terminology. The distinctions between values or feelings of value were used to save the three spiritual forms, which were recognized as the triad of the True, the Good, and the Beautiful, from confusion with the fourth form, still unknown, and therefore insidious in its indeterminateness and mother of scandals. A category of apparent aesthetic feelings has been formed in modern aesthetic, not arising from the form, that is to say, from the works of art as such, but from their content. It has been remarked that artistic representations arouse pleasure and pain in their infinite shades of variety. If feeling has been sometimes considered to be an organic or natural activity, this has happened just because it does not coincide either with logical, aesthetic or ethical activity.
