 Some contemporary scientists and philosophers interpret "Wissenschaft" as meaning any true knowledge or successful method, including philosophical, mathematical, and logical knowledge and methods.Before Immanuel Kant published his "Critique of Judgment" in 1790, the ""schöne Wissenschaft"" (roughly, "fine sciences") were highly regarded.The ""schöne Wissenschaft"" included poetry, rhetoric, and other subjects that were meant to promote an understanding of truth, beauty, and goodness.
