Pauline Johnson shows that, despite the great diversity in these theories about art, they all formulate a common problem, and she argues that an adequate response to this problem must be based on account of the practical foundations within the recipient’s own experience for a changed consciousness.”,”url”:”https://www.amazon.com/dp/9780415609081/”}
