Aesthetic as Science of Expression and General Linguistic

Benedetto Croce, an Italian philosopher and literary critic, wrote a book called "Aesthetic as Science of Expression and General Linguistic". This work is one of his earliest and most influential pieces that elaborates on his ideas of aesthetics. Croce defines art as intuition and expression, which means that the primary criterion for evaluating art is not just beauty, but also how well it expresses something. This book is an important read for anyone interested in understanding how art can be evaluated and why it is valuable.
