In this book Richard Eldridge presents a clear and compact survey
of philosophical theories of the nature and significance of art.
Drawing on materials from classical and contemporary philosophy as
well as from literary theory and art criticism, he explores the
representational, expressive, and formal dimensions of art, and he
argues that works of art present their subject matter in ways that
are of enduring cognitive, moral, and social interest. His
discussion, illustrated with a wealth of examples, ranges over
topics such as beauty, originality, imagination, imitation, the
ways in which we respond emotionally to art, and why we argue about
which works are good. His accessible study will be invaluable to
students and to all readers who are interested in the relation
between thought and art.
