Book Description
Although various aesthetic themes have preoccupied many major philosophers, from Plato to Goodman, the central questions of the philosophy of art have remained ill-defined. This book gives a concise and systematic account of the leading philosophical ideas about art and aesthetics from ancient times to the present day, and goes on to propose a new theory of aesthetic satisfaction and artistic abilities.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“The . . . work manifests the rich texture of a scholarly study, yet could easily be used alongside an anthology as a text for an upper-level undergraduate course in aesthetics.”
