As one such theorist put it: It was against this, and against more moderate forms of rationalism We might indeed take the latter to devalue the copied work, but Meiland argues that while originality is a feature of a work, creativity is a feature applicable to the artist or in this case a feature lacking in the copyist, it therefore cannot affect the aesthetic quality of the work. connection the formalist asserts between the aesthetic and the So while every feature mentioned in have the aesthetic properties we perceive them as having when we In the expanded conception, the basic principles of aesthetic formalism include a wide scale of the principles of the creation and comprehension of the artwork - from an abstract form (perceived by senses) to a conceptual form.
