Abstract

This paper aims to shed light on the role of British Empiricism in shaping of the aesthetical theory during the eighteenth century,-In fact, this theory had a significant influence on the founding of Kant’ critical aesthetics-. I will tackle this topic through an exploration of the following eminent figures; A.Shaftesbury, F. Hutcheson, T. Reid, J. Addison, and E. Burke.
