What reading level is The Philosophy of the Beautiful 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
(He distinguishes objects which please the mind, fi-om those which please the heart.) It is not neces- sary, however, that in order to be beautiful an object must give pleasure. We may recognise beauty in that which gives pain. The characteristics of Beauty, according to Crousaz, are variety, unity, regularity, order, and proportion. But in a subsequent chapter he seems to lay chief stress on the three- fold characteristic of unity in variety, proportion, and fitness.
An object is beautiful (i)... when it includes within it diversities reduced to unity, which occupy the mind without fatiguing it ; (2) when it has proportion well sustained ; and (3) when it is well fitted to its place. One does not require, however, g6 The Philosophy of the Beautiful chap.
to postpone his judgment as to the beauty of an object until he recognises these three things as present, because Beauty forces itself upon us spontaneously. It triumphs over us, and our heart responds to it without the aid of reason. The question then is, has it a basis in the nature of things, or is its basis caprice ?
