Cognitive foundations of Baumgarten's aesthetics

Abstract

         The sum of Baumgarten's efforts to reformulate a new concept of aesthetics is one of the most prominent additions to modern Western thought. That is in view of the features of the uniqueness that distinguished the proposition made by Baumgarten with regard to making aesthetics a field independent of philosophy, or that it is important to say that Baumgarten sought to remove a new concept that gives the aesthetic phenomenon a significance that distances itself from what those interested in the philosophy of beauty used to do before.

        This, the research concluded that the features of uniqueness are present in the work of Baumgarten towards the establishment of a new aesthetic in terms of foundations and goals, a break from the epistemological pursuit of science and other knowledge.
