The Breviary of Aesthetic 19
the blows that his adversary inflicts upon him, acquires new
strength through these very blows, and reaches the sighed-for
eminence, repulsing his adversary, and yet in his company.
Here I cannot do more than record in passing the importance
of the Aristotelian concept of
mimesis (arising in opposition
to the Platonic condemnation of poetry), and the attempt
made by the same philosopher to distinguish
poetry and his-
tory:
a concept that was not sufficiently developed, and per-

misunderstood, but which was yet to serve, after many cen-

consciousness of the difference between
logic and fancy, be-

judgment and taste, between intellect and genius,
which became ever more lively during the course of the sev-

between
Poetry and Metaphysic assumed in the "Scienza
Nuova” of Vico; and also the scholastic construction of an
Æsthetica, distinct from a Logica, as Gnoseologia inferior
and Scientia Cognitionis sensitivæ, in Baumgarten, who, how-
ever, remained involved in the Conceptualistic conception of
art, and did not carry out his project; and the Critique of
Kant directed against Baumgarten and all the Leibnitzians
and Wolffians, which made it clear that intuition is intuition
and not a “confused concept”; and romanticism, which per-
haps better developed the new idea of art, announced by
Vico, in its artistic criticism and in its histories than in its
systems; and, finally, tire criticism inaugurated in Italy by
Francesco de Santis, who caused art as pure
form, or pure
intuition, to prevail over all utilitarianism, moralism, and
conceptualism (to adopt his vocabulary).
