Re-thinking Aesthetics - Rogue Essays on Aesthetics and the Arts (Hardcover, New Ed)

The essays, collected by Berleant in this volume all express the
impulse to reject the received wisdom of modern aesthetics: that
art demands a mode of experience sharply different from others and
unique to the aesthetic situation, and that the identity of the
aesthetic lies in keeping it distinct from other kinds of human
experience, such as the moral, the practical, and the social.
Berleant shows, on the contrary, that the value, the insight, the
force of art and the aesthetic are all enhanced and enlarged by
recognizing their social and human role, and that this recognition
contributes both to the significance of art and to its humanizing
influence on what we like to call civilization.
