As the gallery puts it, Mercier's works "imply that function is part of an aesthetical proposition."
In the latter the chief point is a certain use of the artistic object, by which condition the aesthetical Ideas are limited.
The purposiveness is here obviously objective and intellectual, not merely subjective and aesthetical.
This last always happens in an aesthetical judgement upon anything so far as it gratifies or grieves us.
Munich, on the Isar, is every day drifting into the beautiful, not to say aesthetical.
Aesthetical judgements can be divided just like theoretical (logical) judgements into empirical and pure.
