Raktažodžiai:
Aesthetics: 50 Puzzles, Paradoxes, and Thought Experiments is a teaching-focused resource, which highlights the contributions that imaginative scenariosparadoxes, puzzles, and thought experiments alikehave made to the development of contemporary analytic aesthetics. The book is divided into sections pertaining to art-making, ontology, aesthetic judgements, appreciation and interpretation, and ethics and value, and offers an accessible summary of ten debates falling under each section.

Each entry also features a detailed annotated bibliography, making it an ideal companion for courses surveying a broad collection of topics and readings in aesthetics.

Key Features:











Uses a problem-centered approach to aesthetics (rather than author- or theory-centered) making the text more inviting to first-time students of the subject





Offers stand-alone chapters, allowing students to quickly understand an issue and giving instructors flexibility in assigning readings to match the themes of the course





Provides up-to-date, annotated bibliographies at the end of each entry, amounting to an extensive review of the literature on contemporary analytic aesthetics

Recenzijos

Xhignesse has a keen eye for how to pique the readers curiosity and is a succinct and even-handed surveyor of puzzles and their proposed resolutions. . . . Students are sure to respond to the vibrant prose and well chosen diet of issues from across aesthetics. . . . This is likely to make for a lively classroom and interesting term papers, and, whether or not instructors end up assigning this book, they will surely make use of it and find themselves cribbing Xhignesses punchy questions and concise summaries for their class discussion. It is a commendable achievement. --Sam Cowling, Metascience
