This book presents an up-to-date introduction to the subject that
captures the excitement and passion of art itself. It opens by
exploring why art is important to us and goes on to grip the reader
with a discussion of all of the areas central to aesthetics:
aesthetic experience, representation, expression, definition of
art, evaluation, interpretation, structuralism and
post-structuralism, truth and morality. It draws upon the great
thinkers on art, Plato and Kant, Croce and Beardsley, including the
most recent iconoclastic views from the Continent of Barthes and
Derrida, and invests the whole narrative with life through
traditional and topical examples taken from all types of human
creativity.
