The Baumgarten Corruption From Sense to Nonsense in Art and Philosophy
Author: Robert Dixon
In 1750 Alexander Baumgarten corrupted the Greek for "sensible" when he introduced the word "aesthetic" into the philosopher's discourse on beauty and "taste". This book reveals the Baumgarten corruption as the beginning of a great philosophical confusion, a lapse of reason into nonsense.
