The Routledge Companion to Aesthetics. The Routledge Companion to Aesthetics contains forty-six chapters written by leading international scholars covering
all aspects of aesthetics. The volume is structured
Les mer... in four parts: History, Aesthetic Theory, Issues and Challenges,
and Individual Arts. It opens with an historical overview of aesthetics including entries on Plato, Aristotle, Kant,
Nietzsche, Heidegger, Sibley and Derrida. The second part covers the central concepts and theories needed for
a comprehensive understanding of contemporary developments in aesthetics including the definitions of art, taste, value
of art, beauty, imagination, fiction, narrative, metaphor and pictorial representation. Part three is devoted
to the topics that have attracted much contemporary interest in aesthetics including art and ethics, environmental aesthetics
and feminist aesthetics. The final part addresses the individual arts of music, photography, film, literature,
theatre, dance, architecture and sculpture. Aesthetics is a vibrant growing field within philosophy. It addresses fundamental
questions about the nature and value of art that cannot easily be answered by a study of the histories of the
arts.This volume should prove invaluable both to curious newcomers, who want to learn more about aesthetics, and
to professionals, who desire a ready reference work.
