Aesthetic Judgment in Historical Perspective

This study proposes a focused inquiry into aesthetic judgment as it intersects with historical context. The planned chapters distinguish mechanisms from metaphors, empirical findings from predictions, and strong evidence from plausible conjecture. The emphasis is on aesthetic judgment viewed through historical context, with close interpretation, relevant primary texts, competing schools of thought, and contextual documentation. How do methods of measurement shape the conclusions that readers draw?
