Les beaute¤  s ont, dans les arts, le me"  me fondement que les ve¤  rite¤  s dans la philosophie.Qu'est-ce que la ve¤  rite¤  ? La conformite¤   de nos jugements avec les e"  tres. Qu'est-ce que la beaute¤   d'imitation? La conformite¤   de l'image avec la chose. Beauty has in art the same foundation as does truth in philosophy. What is the truth? The conformity of our judgements with beings. What is the beauty of imitation? The conformity of the image with the thing.
