But if we judge on the basis of our everyday experience, we tend to define as good not only what we like, but also what we should like to have for ourselves. There is an infinite number of things that we consider good, a love requited, wealth honestly acquired, a refined delicacy, and in all these cases we should like to possess that good. A good is that which stimulates our desire. Even when we consider a virtuous deed to be good, we should like to have done it ourselves, or we determine to do something just as meritorious, spurred on by the example of what we consider to be good. . . .~ Page 9 (Introduction)

. . . . Plato thought that art was an imperfect imitation of nature, in its turn an imperfect imitation of the ideal world. In any event, this attempt to make artistic representation conform to the Platonic idea of Beauty was common to Renaissance artists. But there have been periods in which the schism* between the ideal and the real world was more market. ~ Page 90
