RATIONALISM AND EMPIRICISM<br />
‣ Due to Aristotle art was seen as rule-governed behaviour.<br />
‣ In the 17th century rationalism concluded that the beauty<br />
can ge generated if one apply certain rules.<br />
‣ In Engeland they struggled against an overly rational<br />
approach to art > there they presented an aesthetic view<br />
that does justice to what people feel (Shaftesbury,<br />
Hutcheson, Burke).<br />
‣ Empiricism > beautiful is what is perceived as such.<br />
‣ David Hume: the beauty is finally experiencing the pleasure<br />
one has when one observes an object.<br />
‣ Kant tries to bridge the gap between the two positions.
