In a 1729 lecture on “The enjoyment that  one can derive from the cognition of truth,” Wolff does not in  the first instance treat truth as a semantic correspondence between a  linguistic representation and the object represented, or an epistemic  relation between a mental representation and an external reality, but  as an objective property consisting in coherence within things  themselves, which is precisely what perfection consists in as  well. But there is nevertheless a strongly cognitivist cast to  Wolff’s aesthetics.
