DESCRIPTION
When the 18th century German philosopher, A.G. Baumgarten first introduced 'Aesthetics' as an academic discipline to deal with the philosophy of beauty, he couldn't possibly have anticipated the controversies that have lately been raised by logical positivists, analytical schools, and even linguists-controversies questioning the validity, the very legitimacy, of a philosophical inquiry into beauty, art and creative processes.
