Benjamin Tilghman has been a leading commentator on analytic
philosophy for many years. This book brings together his most
significant and influential work on aesthetics. Spanning a period
of thirty years and covering topics in aesthetics from literature
to painting, the collection traces the development of Tilghman's
two principal themes; a rejection of philosophical theory as a way
of resolving problems about our understanding and appreciation of
art and the importance of the representation and presentation of
the human and human concerns in art. Tilghman is profoundly
influenced by the philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein and his work is
informed throughout by his conception and practice of philosophy.
Written with exceptional clarity and with many references to
original work in both painting and literature, this collection will
be an invaluable resource not only for professional philosophers
but for those working in the arts generally, art historians,
critics and literary theorists.
