Aesthetic Theory Across the Disciplines cover

What is aesthetics? How is it related to other disciplines? The chapters of this book examine the history, theoretical conditions and connection points between aesthetics and other disciplines. At the same time we are also interested in practical clashes of methodology and agenda – especially when it is not merely about the securing of the position of one or the other discipline, but is used, in a dialogical manner, as the form of understanding better the nature of both as well as the benefits of their collaboration. The authors all work on the edge of aesthetics and at least one other academic field, hence through their regular scholarly activities they constantly benefit from their cross- and interdisciplinary practice, and this makes them ideal interpreters of these methodological questions. This book is also an alternative introduction to aesthetics for the interested who already has some basic knowledge – but through its companions.
