Continually making this interchange. "Beautiful and ugly " express aesthetic value and its contrary ; " true and < false" express logical value and its contrary; "convenient : and useless " economic value and its contrary; and " good and bad " ethical value and its contrary. Yet we use the term beautiful not only for aesthetic expression, but for 1 scientific truth, for a usefully accomplished action or for a moral action, and in this way we come to speak of intellectual beauty, of a beautiful action, of moral beauty. And the same with the contrary, the ugly, we speak of ugly truths, ugly actions, and so forth. The first requirement of philosophical theory is to recognise the order of facts to which beautiful is applicable. Pleasure and displeasure accompany the exercise of aesthetic activity, it is true, but then they also accompany all forms of mental activity ; they are not therefore them- selves the aesthetic value and its contrary. The beautiful is the distinct concept of aesthetic value ; like every distinct concept it contains within it its own contrary for it is a synthesis of opposites.
