It is partly an historical survey of the central figures and themes of this tradition But it is also a philosophical defense of some\u003cbr\u003eof its leading ideas, viz., that beauty plays an integral role in life, that aesthetic pleasure is the perception of perfection, that aesthetic rules are inevitable and valuable. It shows that the criticisms of Kant and Nietzsche of this tradition are largely unfounded. The rationalist tradition\u003cbr\u003edeserves re-examination because it is of great historical significance, marking the beginning of modern aesthetics, art criticism, and art history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frederick C.
