Despite its foundational role in the history of philosophy, Plato's
famous argument that art does not have access to truth or knowledge
is now rarely examined, in part because recent philosophers have
assumed that Plato's challenge was resolved long ago. In Art and
Truth after Plato, Tom Rockmore argues that Plato has in fact never
been satisfactorily answered - and to demonstrate that, he offers a
comprehensive account of Plato's influence through nearly the whole
history of Western aesthetics. Rockmore offers a cogent reading of
the post - Platonic aesthetic tradition as a series of responses to
Plato's position, examining a stunning diversity of thinkers and
ideas. He visits Aristotle's Poetics, the medieval Christians,
Kant's Critique of Judgment, Hegel's phenomenology, Marxism, social
realism, Heidegger, and many other works and thinkers, ending with
a powerful synthesis that lands on four central aesthetic arguments
that philosophers have debated. More than a mere history of
aesthetics, Art and Truth after Plato presents a fresh look at an
ancient question, bringing it into contemporary relief.
