Aesthetics is the branch of philosophical thought that arises from deep engagement with the arts.

It is about larger issues such as meaning, identity, and medium that arise in the exploration of art, music, film and literature.

Aesthetics: Key Concepts in Philosophy offers a thorough, lucid and stimulating account of the central theories and ideas encountered in aesthetics.

The text is thematically structured, covering the discipline's principal concepts: taste, aesthetic judgment, aesthetic experience, and the definition of art.

It includes an overview of the history of aesthetics and guides the reader through the work of all major philosophers who have engaged with aesthetics.
