literally all of them.
most overdone subject ever
none of them grasp beauty's wholeness

Like all books on aesthetics since 1750

Make sure you read these

·Kant's "Observations on the Feeling of the Beautiful and Sublime"

·Wilde's preface to "The Picture of Dorian Gray"

·Blake's "All Religions Are One" and "There is No Natural Religion"

probably, i just really like beauty, man. I haven't seen a description i'm comfortable with. Biggest issue with it is the idea of an object with hard boundaries, which i think cramps any discussion on radiance and blah blah blah.
yeah, i'm a try-hard but whateverr
