Early Modern Aesthetics, Hardback Book

Early Modern Aesthetics Hardback

Hardback

Description

Early Modern Aesthetics is a concise and accessible guide to the history of aesthetics in the early modern period.

J. Colin McQuillan shows how philosophers concerned with art and beauty positioned themselves with respect to the ancients and the moderns, how they thought the arts were to be distinguished and classified, the principles they proposed for art and literary criticism, and how they made aesthetics a part of philosophy in the eighteenth century.

The book explores the controversies that arose among philosophers with different views on these issues, their relation to the philosophy, science, and art, and their legacy for contemporary aesthetics.
