This anthology has been significantly expanded for this edition to
include a wider range of contemporary issues. The most important
addition is a new section on multicultural theory, including
important and controversial selections ranging from discussions of
art in other cultures to discussions of the appropriation of
nonWestern art in Western cultures. The material from Kant's
Critique of Judgment has been expanded to include his writing on
aesthetical ideas and the sublime. The selections from Derrida have
been updated and considerably expanded for this edition, primarily
from The Truth in Painting. One of Derrida's most interesting
provocations has also been added, his letter to Peter Eisenman on
architecture. In addition, the section on feminist theory now
includes a chapter from Irigaray's Speculum of the Other Woman.
This anthology includes the most important writings on the theory
of art in the Western tradition, including selections from Plato,
Aristotle, Hume, Kant, Hegel, and Nietzsche; the most important
philosophical writings of the last hundred years on the theory of
art, including selections from Collingwood, Langer, Goodman,
Heidegger, and Merleau-Ponty; contemporary Continental writings on
art and interpretation, including selections from Gadamer, Ricoeur,
Derrida, Lyotard, and Foucault; also writings on the psychology of
art by Freud and Jung, from the Frankfurt School by Benjamin,
Adorno, and Marcuse, in feminist theory, multiculturalism, and
postmodernism. The anthology also includes twentieth-century
writings by artists including discussions of futurism, suprematism,
and conceptual art.
