This is the first book to gather together R. K. Elliott's important
essays on aesthetics. These essays put forward a number of common
themes that together constitute a unified approach to aesthetics. A
theory of imagination is developed and ideas concerning the
practice of art criticism are explored before the relevance of
aesthetics for ethics is discussed. Throughout his writing Elliott
combines analytic rigour with sympathy for ideas in continental
philosophy. He values subjectivity but his analytic stance prevents
this from falling into mere personal opinion; he is also able to
show how art and aesthetic theory is of complex relevance to
broader areas of experience such as education, freedom, and moral
action. In the course of his discussion Elliott offers an in-depth
analysis of Kant's Critique of Judgement, Clive Bell's aesthetic
theory, and the relevance of Wittgenstein for aesthetics. Study of
Elliott's essays presented in this book powerfully illuminates the
unifying role of imagination and the aesthetic in human experience.
