Geschmacksdenken scheint heute einerseits ungültig geworden, anderseits der Geschmacksbegriff dennoch unentbehrlich geblieben zu sein. Der Vortrag fragt nach den Gründen. Er belegt zunächst die Übertragung des Begriffs auf andere Erscheinungen des Lebens im 19. Jahrhundert, besonders im politischen Denken. Er zeigt sodann die Wurzeln für die neue Zeit in Frankreich im 16. und 17. Jh., die weitere Ausbildung in England und Deutschland vor 1800, behandelt dann seine Entwicklung in der Slavia allgemein, sodann besonders bei Tschechen, Polen und Russen, jeweils von der Aufklärung im 18. Jh. bis zur Moderne im 20. Jh.

Beholding Beauty: Saʿdi of Shiraz and the Aesthetics of Desire in Medieval Persian Poetry explores the relationship between sexuality, politics, and spirituality in the lyrics of Saʿdi Shirazi (d. 1292 CE), one of the most revered masters of classical Persian literature. Relying on a variety of sources, including unstudied manuscripts, Domenico Ingenito presents the so-called “inimitable smoothness” of Saʿdi’s lyric style as a serene yet multifaceted window into the uncanny beauty of the world, the human body, and the realm of the unseen.The book constitutes the first attempt to study Sa‘di’s lyric meditations on beauty in the context of the major artistic, scientific and intellectual trends of his time. By charting unexplored connections between Islamic philosophy and mysticism, obscene verses and courtly ideals of love, Ingenito approaches Sa‘di’s literary genius from the perspective of sacred homoeroticism and the psychology of performative lyricism in their historical context.

"My objective in this book is to show how poetry enables us cognitively to aesthetically access, experience, and identify with the visible and invisible "being" of reality, with art as one cognitive expression of the aesthetic faculty, science another. Just as scientific knowledge of reality is achieved through physically exploring the far reaches of the visible and invisible worlds, so is poetic experience achieved through iconically simulating in semblance the "being" of reality that integrates both self and world in participatory unity. "Being" here should not be understood as the existence of material substance, but as the essence of all that is, both visible and invisible, material and immaterial, a life-force in continuous flux and change. I explore cognition as the sensory-motor-emotive-conceptual processes of "minding" and the aesthetic faculty as the processes of attention, imagination, memory, discrimination, expertise and judgment that underlie all human cognition, including the arts and the sciences"--
