Quote from ‘On Classification of the Sciences’

Term: 
Esthetics
Quote: 

My notion is that there is a study of esthetics, not the exclusive pleasure-ground of those who spend their lives in the delights of art, nor yet particularly considering conduct, but a study to make out what it is wherein the fine, the adorable, the noble, is such.
