Table of ContentsReviewsAndrew Bowie's Aesthetic Dimensions of Modern Philosophy is a tour-de-force and astonishingly wide-ranging exploration of the idea of art as a form of philosophical thought. It is also as compelling a defense of that idea as any written; erudite, original, lucid, fair-minded, and wise. It is as well a deeply thoughtful reflection on the great dissonance in modernity between the spectacular success of modern natural science and technology, on the one hand, and the ever more impoverished sources of meaning on the other. This is an invaluable contribution to our attempts to understand ourselves in this destitute time. * Robert B.
