aesthete Explanation: This how I would translate it. https://medium.com/aesthete/the-aesthetes-a-forgotten-ideolo... But if he was actively involved as a scholar, then man of letters is fine. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 mins (2019-07-07 11:17:53 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Is there a person (an aesthete or man of letters) earlier in the text to whom reference/comparison is being made? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2019-07-07 12:31:37 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- An aesthete has a wider meaning than man of letters. An aesthete will typically be interested in art and design and possibly classical music, as well as literature. A man of letters is associated with studying or producing literature. |
