• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This anthology provides comprehensive coverage of the major contributions of analytic philosophy to aesthetics and the philosophy of art, from the earliest beginnings in the 1950s to the present time. The volume presents the classics of this tradition, and in so doing displays the very foundations of modern debates. Aesthetics and the Philosophy of Art also features a selection of key papers from subsequent contributors that illustrate how the debates developed and how issues arose as analytic philosophers increasingly turned their attention to this area.The volume is a comprehensive guide for students and researchers in aesthetics and philosophy of art, conveniently making available all those papers most often cited. The papers are grouped into sections, ordered chronologically, and covering theoretical topics - identifying art, ontology, aesthetic properties, intention and interpretation, values of art, fictionality - as well as particular art forms, including pictorial art, literature, music, and the popular arts. A final section looks at the aesthetics of nature.

Rezensionen

"To my knowledge, Lamarque and Olsen's anthology is the mostcomprehensive and judiciously put-together collection of its kindto date. It includes all of the authors one can think of onanyone's list of the major contributors to the latetwentieth-century analytic tradition in aesthetics and philosophyof art. It is both deep and broad. If you are going to a desertisland, and baggage space is limited, this is definitely thecollection on the subject you want to take with you. The periodcovered by Lamarque and Olsen's anthology is one of the richest inthe history of the discipline: a veritable golden age ofphilosophical speculation on art and the aesthetic that, I am gladto say, is not over yet, and to which this volume will be a majorcontribution." Peter Kivy, Rutgers University

"A sparkling compilation of essential readings, balancingclassics in analytic aesthetics with recent developments, allskilfully arranged to capture every reader's interests. Anincomparable achievement." Dominic McIver Lopes, University ofBritish Columbia
