"The Principles of Aesthetics" by De Witt H. Parker is a deep examination of what makes art and beauty meaningful. The book starts by pointing out that many people enjoy art without truly understanding why they find it beautiful, and it aims to connect our feelings about art with a deeper, more thoughtful understanding. Parker plans to use both careful observation and thoughtful questioning to explain the principles and theories behind art, arguing that this is very important for understanding art's place in our lives and culture. The book seeks to clarify the often confusing topic of aesthetics, appealing to those seeking a richer connection between their emotions and their knowledge of the world.
