A History of Modern Aesthetics: Volume 3, the Twentieth Century

4.9/5 (25853 ratings)

Description:Volume The field of aesthetics was bound to reflect the dramatic upheavals of the twentieth century in philosophy as a whole, in the arts, and in social and political life generally. This third volume of A History of Modern Aesthetics shows how philosophers of art in Germany, Britain, and the United States continued the debate over cognitivist versus alternative approaches to aesthetic experience that was at the heart of the discipline in the previous two centuries while responding to the intellectual challenges of their own times as well. A History of Modern Aesthetics narrates the history of philosophical aesthetics from the beginning of the eighteenth century through the twentieth century. Aesthetics began with Aristotle's defense of the cognitive value of tragedy in response to Plato's famous attack on the arts in The Republic, and cognitivist accounts of aesthetic experience have been central to the field ever since. But in the eighteenth century, two new ideas were that aesthetic experience is important because of emotional impact – precisely what Plato criticized – and because it is a pleasurable free play of many or all of our mental powers. This book tells how these ideas have been synthesized or separated by both the best-known and lesser-known aestheticians of modern times, focusing on Britain, France, and Germany in the eighteenth century; Germany and Britain in the nineteenth; and Germany, Britain, and the United States in the twentieth.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
