The best one


Exist so many bright minds related to this area of thinking that it's very dificult to choose just one as my favorite, so I'm going to talk about someone that we are seen in class.... Inmanuel Kant!!! even hi isn't my favorite one I think that his influence in the way to apreciate the art it is trascendental.
 
the line of thinking inaugurated by kant and others philosophers  mark the begin of the modern time in the philosophy.
it is in he's third critic named "The critique of judgement" where Kant explain and develop his toughts about a concept known as  aesthetic  judgement, which define our way to look the art and the objects in the nature. in this work he stablish the diference between a judgement based on the understanding and other based on the reason. as a result of this Kant define the concepst of agreeable, beautiful, the sublime, and the good.
this definitions are the base from many theories about art, for example in the Romanticism the idea of the sublime was a main topic.
altough Kant wasn't the only one who work in base of this topics it's considered even today as a great exponent of the modern aesthetics, and his thinkings still create debate.

  4. Hello Bea,
    Kant always generates debate. We'll see how many of you have named him.
