Samenvatting
THE PHILOSOPHY OF ART
SECOND EDITION
Stephen Davies
"A judicious and wide-ranging introduction to contemporary philosophy of art by one of its foremost practitioners. Davies' book is notable for emphasizing both the biological and cultural dimensions of art-making, for regularly keeping in view non-Western as well as Western modes of art, and for an exemplary degree of clarity and reader-friendliness all of which virtues are enhanced in this updated and streamlined second edition."
Jerrold Levinson, University of Maryland
"Stephen Davies' The Philosophy of Art is one of the best introductions to aesthetics and the philosophy of art. The second edition is even better. It has been updated and made more accessible to undergraduates. Davies has a more systematic grasp of the whole field of aesthetics than almost anyone. This is a stimulating book for both students and teachers."
Robert Stecker, Central Michigan University
"Davies' aesthetics primer is exemplary for the range of topics covered, the clarity of the presentations, the varied and plentiful examples, and the useful supplementary materials. The book is duly attentive to gender issues and discusses art from a variety of cultures. The emphasis on biology and evolution and the chapter on ontology ("Varieties of Art") set Davies' book apart from similar endeavors. The changes in the second edition make this already engaging tour even more stimulating and reader-friendly. Davies succeeds throughout in keeping the large issues live and the particular questions pressing. The book is accessible to beginning students but also a valuable resource for more advanced readers."
Stephanie Ross, University of Missouri-St. Louis
