"This is a dependable, well-informed and accessible guide to the
complexities of contemporary philosophical aesthetics. In taking a
problem-oriented, rather than historically-based, approach the book
directly engages with core issues in the subject. What emerges is
not just an introductory survey of problems but a testament to the
vitality and richness of the subject itself. I recommend the book
to beginners and more advanced readers alike." Professor Peter
Lamarque, British Journal of Aesthetics
"A highly reader-friendly guide. It is a clearly and attractively
written work which will provide a very reliable text for many
university courses on the subject. At the end of each chapter there
are excellent, and bang-up-to-date, suggestions for further reading
and there is a useful glossary of terms used in the text at the
end."
