1.The fundamental idea behind any such theory— which we may call the immediacy thesis—is that judgments of beauty are not (or at least not primarily) mediated by inferences from principles or applications of concepts, but rather have all the immediacy of straightforwardly sensory judgments.
2. It was against this, and against more moderate forms of rationalism about beauty, that mainly British philosophers working mainly within an empiricist framework began to develop theories of taste
3. Rationalism about beauty is the view that judgments of beauty are judgments of reason,i.e., that we judge things to be beautiful by reasoning it out, where reasoning it out typically involves inferring from principles or applying concepts.
4. It is the idea, in other words, that we do not reason to the conclusion that things are beautiful, but rather “taste” that they are.
5. At the beginning of the 18th century, rationalism about beauty had achieved dominance on the continent, and was being pushed to new extremes by “les geometres," a group of literary theorists who aimed to bring to literary criticism the mathematical rigor that Descartes had brought to physics
