Here Jonathan Loesberg boldly uses Pater's important work on society and culture, Studies in the History of the Renaissance (1873), to argue that the habitual dismissal of deconstruction as ""aestheticist"" fails to recognize the genuine philosophic point and political engagement within aestheticism.
