ulterior reason for being admirable, The or in other
meaning in being extended so as I mean the include no
science of the worthy words the analysis of what it is that excites that feelings
akin to worship that fills one's whole life in the contemplation
of an idea that excites this feeling. We must
suppose that primitive or barbarous people do not hardly have
this idea, since no hardly any word in any language (as far as I
know) expresses it. The French beau comes as near as approaches it, but
is poor, and cold. any, but is poor. The primitive man apparently did not found too much
think reason to think of the divine not as something to be passionately loved
but as something to be feared. Only the Greek ἀγαμαι comes is an exception a glorious
verb expressing how the common people in primitive times
looked up to their leaders with passionate admiration and devotion,
as near expressing the emotion as any word does. It is
comes the nearest to expressing the idea. Repeating the
from that verb that I will form axiagastics if necessary
root, although the linguists do not say they are the same, it makes
axiagastics for the science of that which is worthy to be admired and adored.
But I am not thoroughly persuaded that
Baumgarten's word esthetics will be too unwarrantably
wrenched in being given this meaning.
