Reading Aesthetics and Philosophy of Art Bewertungen

A thoughtful and creative selection of the very best work in aesthetics and philosophy of art brought to life with clear, fresh, and insightful commentaries - there is nothing like it. Dominic McIver Lopes, University of British Columbia Through a careful and varied selection of writings, supported by clear and succinct commentary, Janaway's volume succeeds very well in its aim of introducing the philosophy of art and the aesthetic in a way that will allow those new to the subject to grasp its interest and importance. Sebastian Gardner, University College London
