Santayana, G. (1986) The Sense of Beauty: Being the Outlines of Aesthetic Theory, New York: Modern Library, 1955.
(This classic and much admired subjectivist text, was a protest against realist notions of taste (Kant’s subjective universality in particular), though the taste exhibited by the author in discussing examples is far from eccentric. Santayana’s observations about aesthetic value here and in The Life of Reason (1905–6) strongly support what is called ‘procedural rationality’ in §6 above.)
Scruton, R. (2009) Beauty, Oxford: Oxford University Press.
(Overall the best introduction to issues concerning beauty yet produced, in spite of the jeremiad against the drift of popular and avant-garde culture in ch. 8, ‘The Flight from Beauty’. Wide-ranging, well-furnished with insightful commentary upon examples, and deeply appreciative of serious aesthetic and moral values.)
