The book is a selection of Malcolm Budd's papers on aesthetics,
some of which have been revised or added to. A number of the essays
are aimed at the abstract heart of aesthetics, attempting to solve
a cluster of the most important issues in aesthetics which are not
specific to particular art forms. These include the nature and
proper scope of the aesthetic, the intersubjective validity of
aesthetic judgements, the correct understanding of aesthetic
judgements expressed through metaphors, aesthetic realism versus
anti-realism, the character of aesthetic pleasure and aesthetic
value, the aim of art and the artistic expression of emotion. Other
essays are focussed on central issues in the aesthetics of
particular art forms: two engage with the most fundamental issue in
the aesthetics of music, the question of the correct conception of
the phenomenology of the experience of listening to music with
understanding; and two consider the nature of pictorial
representation, one examining certain well-known views, the other
articulating an alternative conception of seeing a picture as a
depiction of a certain state of affairs. The final essay in the
volume is a comprehensive reconstruction and critical examination
of Wittgenstein's aesthetics, both early and late.
