Written with clarity, wit, and rigor, The Philosophy of Art provides an incisive account of the core topics in the field.
- The first volume in the new Foundations of the Philosophy of the Arts series, designed to provide crisp introductions to the fundamental general questions about art, as well as to questions about the several arts (such as literature, music or painting).
- Presents a clear and insightful introduction to central topics and on-going debates in the philosophy of art.
- Eight sections cover a wide spectrum of topics such as the interpretation of art, the relation between art and moral values, and the expression and arousal of emotion through art.
- Pedagogical features include full-color illustrations, vibrant examples, thought-provoking discussion questions and helpful suggested readings.
“This is a first-rate introduction to the maze of debates that has been constructed around art. This book is an outstanding achievement in pedagogical clarity and philosophical argument, and certainly is worth reading by students who seek an introduction to philosophy of art as well as by professionals who look for a well-argued commentary.” (Philosophy In Review)
