Leibniz and the Founding of Aesthetics

Summary/Abstract: This paper presents those aspects of Leibniz’s philosophy that both anticipate and prepare the founding of aesthetics by A. G. Baumgarten. The analysis is directed on Leibniz’s comprehension of reception and production of beauty or the aesthetic experience one the one hand, and on the metaphysical character of beauty on the other. The analysis shows that although positions of Leibniz and Baumgarten concerning the aesthetic experience are very simmilar, the domination of the metaphysical conception of beauty prevented Leibniz to develop an aesthetics.
