Описание: Excerpt from Judgment in Literature

Just as there are certain principles of morality, recognized, if not universally, at least very generally by all civilized men, by reference to which we govern our conduct, so are there certain principles of Criticism of wide, if not universal, validity, by reference to which we guide our decisions in matters of taste. A knowledge of these principles, by teaching us to think rightly about works of art and literature, enables us to gain the fullest enjoyment both from these works and from the physical existences, or the facts of life, of which they are representations, in the same way as the principles of morality teach us to control our actions so as to be happy ourselves and contribute to the happiness of our neighbours. But while morality, or the art of right living, covers the whole field of mans existence, criticism is concerned with an element only of that existence; and the first point which we have to consider is, therefore, the nature and extent of this element - in other words we must form some definite notion of what Art is, and of the part which it plays in the life of man.

In order to do this we will first recall the several arts and the works which they respectively produce, and then endeavour to collect the facts so recalled in a general idea.
