Contents.Biography Baumgarten was born in as the fifth of seven sons of the of the, Jacob Baumgarten, and of his wife Rosina Elisabeth. Both his parents died early, and he was taught by Martin Georg Christgau where he learned and became interested in.In 1733, during his formal studies at the, he attended lectures on the philosophy of by at the. Philosophical work While the meanings of words often change as a result of cultural developments, Baumgarten's reappraisal of is often seen as a key moment in the development of.

Previously the word aesthetics had merely meant 'sensibility' or 'responsiveness to stimulation of the senses' in its use by ancient writers. With the development of as a commercial enterprise linked to the rise of a class across Europe, the purchasing of art inevitably led to the question, 'what is good art?' Baumgarten developed aesthetics to mean the study of good and bad ', thus good and bad art, linking good taste with beauty.By trying to develop an idea of good and bad taste, he also in turn generated philosophical debate around this new meaning of aesthetics. Without it, there would be no basis for aesthetic debate as there would be no objective criterion, basis for comparison, or reason from which one could develop an objective argument.Views on aesthetics.

About MetaphysicsAlexander Baumgarten (1714-1762), an influential German philosopher preceding Immanuel Kant, is remembered mainly as a founder of modern aesthetics. Yet his manual on metaphysics was one of the chief textbooks of philosophical instruction in latter 18th-Century Germany. Originally published in Latin, Kant used the Metaphysics for nearly four decades as the basis for lectures on metaphysics, anthropology and religion. Kant composed many of the preparatory sketches for the Critique of Pure Reason in the blank interleaved pages of his personal copy.

Available for the first time in English, this critical translation draws from the original seven Latin editions and Georg Friedrich Meier's 18th-century German translation. Together with a historical and philosophical introduction, extensive glossaries and notes, the text is supported by translations of Kant's elucidations and notes, Eberhard's insertions in the 1783 German edition and texts from the writings of Meier and Wolff.

For scholars of Kant, the German Enlightenment and the history of metaphysics, Alexander Baumgarten's Metaphysics is an essential, authoritative resource to a significant philosophical text.

Reviews“Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten's Metaphysica was both a refined restatement of the German rationalism of Leibniz and Wolff and an original work of philosophy. Not merely the textbook for Immanuel Kant's lectures on metaphysics and anthropology, it fundamentally shaped Kant's 'Critical Philosophy' and through that most of later German philosophy. This lucid translation finally makes Baumgarten's seminal work available in English.

Including Kant's annotations in his own copy of the Metaphysica along with an illuminating introduction and extensive notes and glossary, this volume will be indispensable for all future students of Kant and German philosophy.” – Paul Guyer, Jonathan Nelson Professor of Humanities and Philosophy, Brown University, USA,“Baumgarten's manual was enormously influential and widely discussed in Kant's time in matters such as metaphysics, cosmology, and psychology. Kant used it repeatedly in many of his courses and annotated it extensively. This volume offers the first full translation of Baumgarten's Metaphysics (in its fourth, 1757 edition) in English, inclusive of Kant's hand-written elucidations.

It is a very welcome addition to the primary sources available to scholars. The current state of debate makes this a timely contribution that will help anyone interested in Kant to gauge in a more accurate and historically informed fashion the extent of his relation to his eighteenth-century German predecessors. Fugate and Hymers' rich, attentive and scrupulous critical notes never make the reader feel unassisted in this undertaking.” – Alfredo Ferrarin, University of Pisa, Italy.
