| Synopsis: |
What is art? Why do we value it? How is meaning discerned and discovered? Can art compete with science and philosophy in the search for truth? This succinct and engaging introduction tackles some of the fundamental philosophical questions of why art, in its wide variety of forms, should matter to us. In a clear and accessible style, Peter Lamarque addresses key topics such as: - the definition of art
- representation and resemblance
- meaning and significance
- art and emotion
- artistic form and function
- the pleasures of art
- conceptions of truth
- universal and cultural values
- the challenge of popular arts
In nine well-structured chapters, "What is this Thing called Art?" delivers critical insights into specific issues and controversies that arise from the main theoretical approaches to art. Each chapter features concise summaries of key ideas, as well as authentic examples and annotated suggestions for further reading. This is an essential introduction for undergraduates studying the philosophy of art for the first time. |
