Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Mark Akenside, Vol. 2: With the Life of the Author
There are certain powers in human nature which seem to hold a middle place between the orgons of bodily sense and faculties of moral perception, "The Powers of Imagination." Like the external senses they relate to matter and motion and, at the same time give the mind ideas analogous to, those of moral approbaflion and dislike As they are the inlets of some of the most exquisite Pleasures -with which we are acquainted, it has naturally happened that men of warm and sensible tempers have sought means to recal the delightful perceptions which they afford, independent of the objects which originally produced them. This gave rise to the imitative or designing arts; some of which, as paining and sculpture, directly copy the external appearances which were admired in nature; others, as music and poetry, bring them back to remembrance by signs universally established and understood.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the many ways our mental faculties perceive and experience beauty and the sublime in nature, art, and life, and through a variety of imaginative processes. Its author theorizes that the ability to find pleasure in these things is inherently human and points to the many ways in which the imagination and the moral faculty are deeply connected. The book explores how external stimuli can ignite our passions and examines the ways in which imagination enhances our enjoyment of the world. The author suggests that our response to beauty and the sublime is not merely a matter of taste but rather a fundamental part of our humanity. This book will be of interest to anyone who seeks a deeper understanding of the human experience of beauty and the sublime. Its insights offer a fresh perspective on the relationship between imagination, morality, and the human condition. Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
