Philosophical Perspectives on Fashion
Bloomsbury Visual Arts (Verlag)
978-1-350-18564-7 (ISBN)
In the context of the most recent debates, the leading fashion and philosophy scholars contributing to this volume refer to and apply theories posed by key thinkers of the modern and contemporary age, from Darwin and Wittgenstein to Husserl and Goodman, in order to answer questions such as: what is the essence of fashion and the reasons behind its fascination? What is ‘anti-fashion’? What or who do we imitate when we ‘follow’ fashion? What is fashion criticism and what should it be?
Anyone studying or interested in fashion, philosophy or art will find this book a rich source of ideas, insight and information. Philosophical Perspectives on Fashion is a valuable contribution to contemporary fashion theory and aesthetics, one that revitalizes the way we look at the form, purpose and meaning of fashion and aesthetic experience.
Giovanni Matteucci is Full Professor of Aesthetics at the University of Bologna, Italy. Stefano Marino is a Researcher and Lecturer of Aesthetics at the University of Bologna, Italy.
