We cannot credit our enjoyment of a flower or of the atmosphere of a room to an autonomous aesthetic instinct. Man’s aesthetic responsiveness relates in its prehistory to various forms of idolatry; his belief in the goodness or sacredness of a thing precedes his enjoyment of its beauty. This applies no less to such concepts as freedom and humanity.
