Aesthetics
Introduction to the Subject
This book presents an up-to-date introduction to the subject that captures the excitement and passion of art itself.
Exploring Why Art Matters
It opens by exploring why art is important to us and goes on to grip the reader with a discussion of all of the areas central to aesthetics: aesthetic experience, representation, expression, definition of art, evaluation, interpretation, structuralism and post-structuralism, truth and morality.
Influential Thinkers
It draws upon the great thinkers on art, Plato and Kant, Croce and Beardsley, including the most recent iconoclastic views of Barthes and Derrida.
