The Century of Taste offers an exposition and critical account of the central figures in the early development of the modern philosophy of art - Hutcheson, Gerard, Alison, Kant, and Hume. Dickie follows the development of the modern theory of taste from its origination with Hutcheson, to blind alleys followed by Gerard and Allison, to its refinement and complete expression by Hume, and to the beginning of its decline with Kant.
