"Bandung di masa kolonial dikenal sebagai Parisnya Pulau Jawa atau yang populer dengan sebutan Parijs van Java. Sebutan itu memberikan kesan kota yang estetik dan dicintai oleh banyak orang bahkan hingga saat ini. Orang Belanda menyebut Bandung sebagai Een Western Enclave atau permukiman eksklusif bagi orang Barat yang membuat kota ini makin spesial. Penelitian ini berfokus pada perkembangan kota di Bandung pada awal abad ke 20, dari kota kecil di tengah perkebunan menjadi kota modern yang diakui dunia internasional. Bandung dicalonkan menjadi ibukota Hindia Belanda untuk menggantikan Batavia. Berbagai perubahan kota yang terjadi ikut berpengaruh pada tampilan estetika arsitektur dan kota. Namun, di balik gemerlap perkembangan yang pesat itu, terdapat sejumlah ide terkait estetika yang tidak saling berhubungan. Penelitian ini mencoba menjawab apa aja citra estetik yang ingin ditampilkan di Bandung saat dipersiapkan menjadi ibukota baru beserta alasanalasannya yang dikaji melalui teori estetika Immanuel Kant dan teori metropolis karya Georg Simmel. Dengan menggunakan metode yang diperkenalkan oleh Iain Borden dan rekan-rekannya dalam buku The Unknown City, terungkap sejumlah pandangan terkait estetika yang membentuk citra kota Bandung, seperti potensi alam, ide keteraturan, eksotisme, ambisi terhadap hal-hal baru, imajinasi kenyamanan Eropa di kota tropis, sekaligus ketakutan akan wabah penyakit yang mengancam imajinasi kolonial.

Colonial Bandung was known as the Paris of Java (Parijs van Java). It gives an impression of aesthetic and is adored by the people until present day. The Dutch named Bandung as Een Western Enclave or an exclusive neighborhood for the European. This research focused on the development of the city in the early twentieth century, from a small town near the plantation to a modern city that is globally known, even to be prepared as a capital city of Dutch East Indies. The development also changed the visual of architecture and the city. However, behind the rapid development of the city, there are some ideas in aesthetics that was unrelated.

This research tried to answer what is the image of aesthetics that was appeared in Bandung as the future capital city of Dutch East Indies. I learn it through the Aesthetic theory of Immanuel Kant and Metropolis of Georg Simmel. With the method that is introduced by Iain Borden and friends in the book The Unknown City, I found some views that is related to the aesthetic and the city, such as nature beauty, the urban planning and design principle, ambition to the tecnology and innovation, exoticism, imagination of the ideal tropics, as well as fears that threatened colonial imagination.

"This book concentrates on two pivotal moments in Edmund Burke's writing career and in the history of Britain in the eighteenth century — the publication of A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of Our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful (1757/9) during the Seven Years War, and the publication of the Reflections on the Revolution in France (1790) inresponse to the way the French Revolution was being admired by radicals in Britain. Although the book is divided into two parts which focus on each of these moments in turn, the interpretivestrategy adopted throughout is continuously to read each text in terms of the other. I move forwards and backwards between the Enquiry and the Reflections in order to establish and complicate therelationship between them, showing that a rereading of the former demands and enables a reinterpretation of the latter. Simultaneouslywith this close attention to Burke's texts, I attempt to read the various ways in which they interact with a range of texts which constitute their different historical and discursive moments."

"In recent years have seen an enormous amount of philosophical research into the emotions and the imagination, but as yet little work has been done to connect the two. In this book, the author shows that all emotions require some form of imagination and goes on to fully explore the link between these two important concepts both within philosophy and in everyday life. We may take it for granted that complex emotions, such as hope and resentment, require a rich thinking and an engagement with the imagination, but the author shows how more basic and responsive emotions such as fear and anger also require us to take account of possibilities and opportunities beyond the immediate situation. The book highlights that many emotions, more than we tend to suppose, require us to imagine a situation from a particular point of view and that this in itself can be the source of further emotional feeling. It goes on to demonstrate the important role that emotions play in our moral lives, throwing light on emotions such as self-respect, disapproval, and remorse, and the price we pay for having them. He explores the intricate nature of moral emotions and the challenges we face when integrating our thinking on morality and the emotions. This book challenges many assumptions about the nature of emotion and imagination and will appeal to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the role that these concepts play in our lives. -- From publisher's website."
