This anthology of philosophical texts by Greek and Roman authors
brings together works from the late fifth century BC to the sixth
century AD that comment on major aesthetic issues such as the
perception of beauty and harmony in music and the visual arts,
structure and style in literature, and aesthetic judgement. It
includes important texts by Plato and Aristotle on the status and
the role of the arts in society and in education, and Longinus'
reflections on the sublime in literature, in addition to less
well-known writings by Philodemus, Cicero, Seneca, Plotinus,
Augustine and Proclus. Most of the texts have been newly translated
for this volume, and some are available in English for the first
time. A detailed introduction traces the development of classical
aesthetics from its roots in Platonism and Aristotelianism to its
ultimate form in late Antiquity.
