Differential Aesthetics cover

This title was first published in 2000. This is an interdisciplinary and international collection on aesthetics with contributions from artists and philosophers and the range of thinkers about art in between. It aims to provide a forum for the kinds of question that used to be addressed within traditional aesthetics, but which have until recently been sidelined in critical writing about art and indeed in many of the most important art practices. The collection as a whole is situated in relation to feminists' approaches, but the editors hope that it will not be read as limited to them.

’This lively collection affords fresh insights into the world of contemporary aesthetics. Penny Florence and Nicola Foster have gathered together a select group of artists, philosophers, and critical theorists, who offer individual perspectives on the aesthetic tradition and its feminist critics and their pertinence for the practice of art today. The result is a fertile mingling of views that represent current evolutions in feminist thinking about art and aesthetic values’ Carolyn Korsmeyer '... this book bridges divisions in contemporary thought, and, crucially, practices, and points to greater understanding of the power and appeal of cultural production.'
