In his well-known work of art criticism "Art of the Modern Age,"
Jean-Marie Schaeffer offered a lucid and powerful critique of what
he identified as the historically dominant thinking about art and
aesthetics from the Jena Romantics, to Nietzsche, Heidegger,
Adorno, and beyond, which he termed "the speculative theory of
art." Here, in "Beyond Speculation, "Schaeffer builds from this
significant work, rejecting not only the identification of the
aesthetic with the work of art, but also the Kantian association of
the aesthetic with subjectively universal judgment. In his analysis
of aesthetic relations, he opens up a space for a theory of art
that is free of historicism and capable of engaging with
noncanonical and non-Western arts. By engaging with the ideas of
Arthur Danto, Gerard Genette, Nelson Goodman, George Dickie and
Rainer Rochlitz, and evoking a range of aesthetic experience from
Proust to King Kong to Japanese temple design, "Beyond Speculation"
makes an original and engaging contribution to the development of
the philosophy of culture. "While Schaeffer is not afraid to do the
necessary detail work, he never gets mired in issues of merely
scholastic interest."--F. L. Rush, "Bookforum," on "Art of the
Modern Age"
