New arts created in the context of new social realities are
impacting our traditional ideas about aesthetics. Art, art markets
and aesthetics now interact in ways that demand new forms of
thought and revision of old. Cosmopolitan Aesthetics presents the
first thorough account of the challenges facing aesthetics today in
the light of globalization, introducing the history that underpins
them. This is an ideal starting point for anyone looking to better
understand 21st century art and aesthetics. Beginning with
globalization and the nature of global art markets today, Daniel
Herwitz offers new insight into postcolonial aesthetics, colonial
legacies, cultural property, the problems of global communication
and aesthetic diversity, and the uneasy connection between
aesthetics and politics, before providing a crucial grounding in
18th and 19th century aesthetics, with discussion of the three
great modern aestheticians David Hume, Immanuel Kant and G.W.F.
Hegel.
