Reading chapter II, “What is literature and does it matter?” by Jonathan Culler. From my point of view, I  find  “Literature as aesthetic object” very interesting because I believe that it helps us to know about the artistic expressions in our society. I come to that it helps to generate interconnection to the words and content.  According to Kant and other theorists, for them, the aesthetic object is ‘purposiveness without purpose ‘ mean not all the stories are purposeful but can have a range of effects. Reading this I realize that the knowledge of beauty depends on the knowledge of objects in which beauty is experienced.
