An accessible, story-driven introduction to aesthetic theory and philosophy

Includes discussions of non-western, contemporary, and discipline-specific theories
Examines a range of art-based dilemmas across a wide variety of disciplines — from art and design and law to visual and museum studies

Kathleen Desmond is Professor of Art History and Byler Distinguished Faculty at the University of Central Missouri where she teaches aesthetics, art criticism and art history and writes about contemporary art and artists.
