Overview

A concise yet thorough introduction to aesthetics in the form of an alphabetic guide. Written in a clear and engaging style, Aesthetics A-Z provides authoritative coverage of the main concepts, arguments, problems and key figures in aesthetics and the philosophy of art. Informative entries - extensively cross-referenced and supplemented with carefully chosen suggestions for further reading - provide a layered treatment of both historical background and contemporary debates in aesthetics, and underline points of intersection between aesthetics and other branches of philosophy or other fields that study the arts. Aesthetics A-Z is an ideal first guide for newcomers to the field of aesthetics, as well as a handy and useful reference work for more advanced students of philosophy, art history, education, media studies and the performing arts.

Reviews

Eran Guter has done a good job. The paperback price puts it within reach of students, while the hardback is preferable for the reference shelf (academic/research, college/school, or public reference library). --Reference Reviews
