Aesthetics Summary

Aesthetics: A Reader in Philosophy of the Arts by David Goldblatt

For courses in Aesthetics.

Unique in perspective, this collection of nearly 90 readings is designed to introduce students - at any level of sophistication - to the philosophical problems of aesthetics as they pertain to specific arts - e.g., Painting, Photography, Music, Film and Video Art, etc. It reflects the tendency to resist thinking of art as an abstract whole and to acknowledge the diverse character of philosophical thinking about individual arts.
