Aesthetics (Fundamentals of Philosophy) 1st Edition by Dr Colin Lyas (PDF)

Description

This book presents an up-to-date introduction to the subject that captures the excitement and passion of art itself. It opens by exploring why art is important to us and goes on to grip the reader with a discussion of all of the areas central to aesthetics: aesthetic experience, representation, expression, definition of art, evaluation, interpretation, structuralism and post-structuralism, truth and morality. It draws upon the great thinkers on art, Plato and Kant, Croce and Beardsley, including the most recent iconoclastic views of Barthes and Derrida.

⭐This book was core reading for the aesthetics module of my philosophy major and I found it to be an engrossing read. Having seen Colin lecture in person it was fantastic to see that the man’s colourful and creative intelligence had been well captured onto the page. His style is one that constantly challenges you to think for yourself and I found this book to be an excellent tool, teaching me how to dig out and sculpt my raw feelings on art. Informed, lively and, considering the fair depth he goes to on thinkers such as Benedetto Croce, a pleasantly flowing and illuminating read.
