Monism and Pluralism in the Early History of Aesthetics One way to think about the history of aesthetics since its inception as a properly named subdiscipline of philosophy in the early eighteenth century is to think of it as a debate about the right way to understand the relations among the terms of the Neo-Platonist triad comprised by the true, the good, and the beautiful: do these terms designate three separate domains of human interest, the theoretical, the practical and moral, and the aesthetic, the boundaries between which must be sharply defined and maintained, or do they designate three aspects of human experience that can and should be fused in practice, indeed do they suggest that the distinctive function of art among human activities is precisely to fuse our natural love of beauty with our theoretical and moral concerns, to provide a kind of unity in human experience that we otherwise do not find?1 Immanuel Kant might be thought to be the foremost of separatists rather than synthesizers in the modern history of aesthetics: his definition in the \u201cAnalytic of the Beautiful\u201d in the Critique of the Power of Judgment of the \u201cjudgment of taste\u201d as \u201caesthetic,\u201d where that means that it is neither cognitive nor practical, that on the one hand \u201cIn order to decide whether or not something is beautiful, we do not relate the representation by means of understanding to the object for cognition\u201d2 and that on the other hand \u201cThe agreeable, the beautiful, and the good...designate three different relations of representations to the feeling of pleasure and displeasure,\u201d that \u201cOne can AP .
