A topical, art-practice focused anthology that caters to diverse interests in aesthetics.
Art and Its Significance is a highly engaging and readable anthology, which ranges from ancient Greek writing on epic and theater to contemporary issues relating to how art is impacted by augmented reality technologies. This collection offers a firm foundation in classic and modern aesthetics by a diverse range of authors from Plato and Aristotle to Judith Butler, Jacques Rancière, and Mary Devereaux. Its thematic organization allows readers to focus on particular topics and genres and make connections between different approaches to a wide range of artistic expression. Each article is introduced with details on the author and a summary of the main arguments offered in the text. Additional section introductions help the reader to understanding how the grouped texts relate to one another. This anthology does not assume prior knowledge of philosophy or aesthetics and is well suited to college course use.
