  • Introductory Lectures on Aesthetics

    de Georg Hegel ...
    Traducido por Bernard Bosanquet ...
    No philosopher has held a higher opinion of art than Hegel, yet nor was any so profoundly pessimistic about its prospects - despite living in the German golden age of Goethe, Mozart and Schiller.

Christianity, with its code of unworldliness, ... Leer más

  • What Art Is Like, In Constant Reference to the Alice Books

    de Miguel Tamen ...
    What Art Is Like is a comic, serious inquiry into the nature of art. It provides welcome relief from prevailing modes of explaining art that involve definitions, philosophical claims, and critical judgments put forth by third parties. Scrapping all such chatter, Miguel Tamen’s aphoristic lark with aesthetic questions proceeds by taking its technical vocabulary only from Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s ... Leer más

    de Daniel Albright ...
    Series series Anthony Hecht Lectures in Humanities
    While comparative literature is a well-recognized field of study, the notion of comparative arts remains unfamiliar to many.

  • Foucault on Painting

    de Catherine M. Soussloff ...
    Michel Foucault had been concerned about painting and the meaning of the image from his earliest publications, yet this aspect of his thought is largely neglected within the disciplines of art history and aesthetic theory. In Foucault on Painting, Catherine M. Soussloff argues that Foucault’s sustained engagement with European art history critically addresses present concerns about the mediated ... Leer más
