Description:
London - New York: Routledge, 2001. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Very little to no wear. Quite clean. 'Almost all of us would agree that the experience of art is deeply rewarding. However, why this is the case remains a puzzle: why do many of us find works of art much more important than other sources of pleasure? [This book] argues that the experience of art is so rewarding because it can be an important source of knowledge about ourselves and our relation to each other and to the world. The view that art is a source of knowledge can be traced as far back as Aristotle and Horace. . . [This book] reflects on the essence of art and argues that it ought to provide insight as well as pleasure.' xi+180 pages. .
