Review
"To my knowledge, Lamarque and Olsen’s anthology is the most comprehensive and judiciously put–together collection of its kind to date. It includes all of the authors one can think of on anyone’s list of the major contributors to the late twentieth–century analytic tradition in aesthetics and philosophy of art. It is both deep and broad. If you are going to a desert island, and baggage space is limited, this is definitely the collection on the subject you want to take with you. The period covered by Lamarque and Olsen′s anthology is one of the richest in the history of the discipline: a veritable golden age of philosophical speculation on art and the aesthetic that, I am glad to say, is not over yet, and to which this volume will be a major contribution." Peter Kivy, Rutgers University
"A sparkling compilation of essential readings, balancing classics in analytic aesthetics with recent developments, all skilfully arranged to capture every reader′s interests. An incomparable achievement." Dominic McIver Lopes, University of British Columbia

Format:Paperback
This is a wonderful anthology containing essays from the leading names in Aesthetics and the Philosophy of Art, and is an extremely useful resource for anyone interested in these topics. The papers are grouped by subject matter, providing a convenient way of finding what you're looking for. The only criticisms I have of this book are to do with the way it has been produced. Firstly, all the text is arranged in columns, with two columns to a page. Personally, I find this quite difficult to read, so this was a bit of a bug bear for me. Secondly, because the book is very large, it is physically quite difficult to read - you have to constantly hold it open, so it's quite tricky to make notes whilst reading. Having said this, the quality and range of information contained in the book certainly outweighs these issues, so if you're looking for a comprehensive collection of papers on Aesthetics and Philosophy of Art, you will be more than satisfied with this volume.
