An Introduction to the Philosophy of Art is a clear and compact survey of philosophical theories of the nature and value of art, including in its scope literature, painting, sculpture, music, dance, architecture, movies, conceptual art, and performance art. This second edition includes a new introduction, and incorporates significant new research on topics including pictorial depiction, musical expression, conceptual art, Hegel, and art and society. Drawing on both classical and contemporary philosophy, literary theory, and art criticism, Richard Eldridge presents recent works about the controversies of Mapplethrope, Finley and more, and explores the representational, formal, and expressive dimensions of art. He argues that the aesthetic and semantic density of the work, in inviting imaginative exploration, makes works of art cognitively, morally, and socially important. His study will be invaluable to students of philosophy of art, aesthetics, and to all readers who are interested in the relation between thought and art.
