Aesthetics is not a "factual" discipline; there are no aesthetic
facts. The word itself is derived from the Greek word for "feeling"
and the discipline arises because of the need to find a place for
the passions within epistemology the branch of philosophy that
investigates our beliefs. Aesthetics is more than just the study of
beauty; it is a study of that which appeals to our senses, most
often in connection with the classification, analysis,
appreciation, and understanding of art. The Historical Dictionary
of Aesthetics covers its history from Classical Greece to the
present, including entries on non-western aesthetics. The book
contains a chronology, a list of acronyms and abbreviations, an
introductory essay, a bibliography, and hundreds of
cross-referenced dictionary entries on the main concepts,
terminology, important persons (philosophers, critics, and
artists), and the rules and criteria we apply in making judgments
on art. By providing concise information on aesthetics, this
dictionary is not only accessible to students, but it provides
details and facts to specialists in the field.
