"Art proper has two characteristics: it is imagination and expression. In explaining what these terms mean the author attacks the modern doctrine of 'sensa' and demands a return to Hume, whose most important contentions are neglected by his professed disciples to-day. Finally, important inferences are drawn concerning the position of art in human society." (dj).
