| Summary | "Suspended Judgments: Essays on Books and Sensations" by John Cowper Powys is a collection of essays exploring literature and the subjective experience of art, written in the early 20th century. The essays focus on the art of discrimination in understanding literature, indicating a deep reflective and philosophical approach to criticism and appreciation of artistic works. The opening of the work begins with a discussion on the concept of discrimination—how individuals engage uniquely with their experiences and form distinct interpretations shaped by their temperaments. Powys emphasizes the importance of personal engagement with art, suggesting that genuine appreciation arises from understanding our own emotions and predilections while navigating the complexities of life and literature. He highlights the paradox of connection through differentiation, implying that critiquing or enjoying art is an intimate journey into one's psyche, which leads to a greater appreciation of the artistic experience itself.
