| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this research is to investigate how the modification of the concept of 'probability’ and 'verisimilitude’ in the middle of the 17th century, so-called 'probabilistic revolution’, became one of the main conditions for the establishment of Baumgarten’s aesthetics. Through this research came to be clear that these two concepts, which were in the early modern period subjectively defined as the effect for the audience, came to be quantitatively defined as the 'grade of truth’ after that revolution and this served as one of the most important logics for making the aesthetics possible not only as a science but also as a method, despite the fact that aesthetics could not eventually acheive the perfect truth, but only verisimilitude.
