To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Further naturally enough for his theory, he repudiates the distinction between natural and artistic beauty. Nature, as external material nature, is not real; in fact nothing real exists outside the mind. It is our mental image of the external nature, which is the reality, and that image is as much ait as "the simple image of the possible" is art* 12 How can natural beauty then be distinguished from artistic? Croce is not content with maintaining that all art is this aesthetic expression, or int...ui- tion, but he emphatically asserts that all intuition or expression is art. This complete identification of art with intuition would play havoc with all the accepted notions of what is art. Croce anticipates this and explains that "what is generally called art, collects intuitions that are wider and more complex than those which we generally experience. " There is no essential difference between an epigram and a single word, a story and an occasional note of a journalist, even between a tragedy and a lyric, or an epic and a sonnet.
