Note 19 — ON SYMMETRY.
Thomas J. (Thomas Joseph) McCormack translation
Delivered before the German Casino of Prague, in the winter of 1871.
A fuller treatment of the problems of this lecture will be found in my Contributions to the Analysis of the Sensations (Jena, 1886), English Translation, Chicago, 1895. J. P. Soret, Sur la perception du beau (Geneva, 1892), also regards repetition as a principle of æsthetics. His discussions of the æsthetical side of the subject are much more detailed than mine. But with respect to the psychological and physiological foundation of the principle, I am convinced that the Contributions to the Analysis of the Sensations go deeper.—Mach (1894).
