New York. 1977. Oxford University Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0198245807. 89 pages. hardcover. keywords: Literature England Women. FROM THE PUBLISHER - In this book, based on her 1976 Romanes Lecture, the distinguished novelist and philosopher discusses Plato's views on art and examines sympathetically the reasons for his hostility towards it. She offers a coherent and fully argued account of Plato's theories of art and of beauty and of their metaphysical background, which shows also that Plato was aware of the dangers of his own artistry. The argument more widely concerns the place of art in life, and includes brief discussion of ideas of many other thinkers, including Kant, Tolstoy, Freud, and Kierkegaard. The book also comprises in an accesssible form a general view of the development of Plato's thought. inventory #5804 ISBN: 0198245807.
