is a timely response to a growing interest in aesthetics ... it covers a good deal of ground, provides much interesting information and abounds in interesting quotations.
' - Peter Rickman, Philosophy Now
- 'Levinson has achieved his intention to provide a collection from which both the professional philosopher and the enthusiastic non-professional can derive instruction and pleasure. . . . he has brought together many of the key practitioners in the field of philosophical aesthetics and this is reflected in the depth of subjects and the lucid quality of the writing.' - British Journal of
Aesthetics

provide scholars and graduate students with
compelling new perspectives upon a wide range of subjects in the humanities and social sciences.
