Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

At once a treatise for professionals and a guide for newcomers to the subject, Aesthetics is ideal both as an introductory survey of the literature on theories of art and beauty from earliest times to the present and as a text for courses in the philosophy of art. The author examines all major aspects of Western aesthetic thought, and a third of the book focuses specifically on 19th-and-20th century aesthetic theory.

Leandraeb, July 1, 2008 (view all comments by Leandraeb)
The different writers in Aesthetics from Classical Greece to the Present use their chapter to present some leading aesthetic argument, while also providing an overview of aesthetic history. Generally in an "overview" type piece, most readers prefer that their information be unfettered by the writer's opinions. However, in the case of Aesthetics, the arguments/opinions presented are so widely discussed and accepted as mainstream, that the benefits of being educated on them really outweigh any possible swaying that might take place. Its a great read, accessible and informative.
