Beauty (or 'sublime' or 'aesthetic excellence') is not an aesthetic property, but a term with which we express a positive reflective judgement of the imaginative activities we are engaged in when perceiving an aesthetic property by empathetic imagination. (V:3). Cf. Aesthetic evaluation; Ideal of beauty.© Rob van Gerwen
