| Sumario: | This book, 'Lo Estético: Percepción y Placer' by Edgardo Gutiérrez, explores the philosophical underpinnings of aesthetics, examining the intersection of perception and pleasure. The author critically reviews the evolution of aesthetic theory from Kant to modern thinkers like Bergson, Merleau-Ponty, and Nietzsche. It delves into the nature of pure imagination, the distinction between beauty and pleasure, and the philosophical implications of art. The work aims to contribute to the materialistic systematization of aesthetics, employing both Kantian and Bergsonian methodologies to isolate pure aesthetic tendencies. Designed for scholars and students of philosophy, the book seeks to clarify complex aesthetic concepts while proposing an autonomous approach to aesthetics, separate from metaphysical constraints.
