Product Description
Product Description
This anthology is intended as a core text for courses in aesthetics or philosophy of art. It contains a wealth of readings from both classic and contemporary sources, and aims to present substantial selections from those texts rather than mere "snippets." Readings are organized historically within four broad themes so that students can see how concepts of art have evolved and been debated. Each reading is introduced by the authors, who suggest connections between the reading and others in the anthology. Unlike other anthologies on the market, The Philosophy of Art is both comprehensive and affordable, making it the ideal book for course use.

Essential purchase for anyone with an interest in aesthetics,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Philosophy of Art: Readings Ancient and Modern (Paperback)
I feel I must write a quick review of this book because I think it is actually really rather great. It is an anthology of famous (and infamous) texts regarding the philosophy of arts/ aesthetics. In its abundant 500+ pages it covers such diverse writers as Plato, Wordsworth, Nietzcshe and Freud - and this is only in the first section (there are four).Why this book isnt more popular or esteemed than it already is is a mystery to me. Of course, if you have no interest in philosophy or aesthetics then I do NOT recommend this anthology to you, but if you do have such an interest then I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Aesthetics for the True Student,
By InfoGradStudent - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Philosophy of Art: Readings Ancient and Modern (Paperback)
This book is filled with primary texts. It does not contain a guide per se to understanding each selection. However, I think this is exactly what is needed in a philosophy anthology. The selections were definitely limited to ancient to modern texts and this leaves out post modern writings on aesthetics. I enjoyed the book it contained a good range of thinkers from Tolstoy, Hume and Kant.

This review is from: The Philosophy of Art: Readings Ancient and Modern (Paperback)
this book is extremely helpful for my class and the amount of time it took to get here was a life saver seeing it showed up right before my first assignment it was also much cheaper than anywhere else which saved me more than half the money i had.
