Aesthetics and the philosophy of art are about things in the world
- things like the Mona Lisa, but also things like horror movies,
things like the ugliest dog in the world, and things like
wallpaper. There's a surprising amount of philosophical content to
be found in wallpaper. Using a case-driven approach, Introducing
Aesthetics and the Philosophy of Art is grounded in real-world
examples that propel thought, debate, and discussion about the
nature of art and beauty. Now in its third edition, this
tried-and-tested text features fresh cases and new activities.
Hands-on Do Aesthetics! activities pepper the text, and Challenge
Cases appear at the end of each chapter to test intuitions, to
complicate the field of discussion, and to set a path forward.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wall-Paper" serves as a
recurring case throughout, and this edition includes the full text
of this classic short story. From classical debates that continue
to bother philosophers today, to emerging problems of identity,
appropriation, and morality, this introduction is designed to
engage you in a field that itself engages with so much of the world
around you. Here is everything you need to know about the history,
themes, thinkers and theories to get you started on aesthetics and
the philosophy of art.
