Abstract

Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten is regarded as the founder of modern philosophical aesthetics in history of philosophy. Baumgarten associates aesthetics with sensible knowledge and its perfection where beauty appears as the perfection of sensible knowledge. In this context Baumgarten, as a representative of rationalist tradition, takes as a problem that sensible knowledge being accepted as intuition or lower knowledge. According to him, things are known through superior faculties as the object of logical knowledge, while sensible things are known through inferior faculties as the object of science of sensible or aesthetics. Baumgarten’s point of view makes us face a duality in regard to cognitive faculties and ways of knowing: logic and aesthetics. In this work, the aim is to clarify how Baumgarten positions aesthetics and logic in his philosophy.

Baumgarten Felsefesinde Estetik ve Mantık

Abstract

Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten, felsefe tarihinde modern felsefi estetiğin kurucusu olarak kabul edilmektedir. Baumgarten estetiği duyusal bilgi ve onun mükemmelliği ile ilişkilendirir ve güzel de duyusal bilginin mükemmelliği olarak karşımıza çıkar. Bu bağlamda rasyonalist geleneğin bir temsilcisi olarak Baumgarten, duyusal bilginin içgüdü ya da bilginin alt türü olarak kabul edilmesini problem edinir. Ona göre bilinen şeyler üst bilme yetileri tarafından mantık nesnesi olarak bilinirler; duyulan şeyler ise alt bilme yetileri tarafından duyusal bilimin ya da estetiğin nesnesi olarak bilinirler. Baumgarten'ın bakış açısı bilme yetileri ve bilme tarzları bakımından bizi bir düalite ile yüzleştirir: mantık ve estetik. Bu çalışmada estetik ile mantığın Baumgarten'ın felsefesinde nasıl konumlandırıldığı açık kılınmaya çalışılacaktır.
