His distinction between public and personal beauty is a significant scholarly contribution that will surely spur debate.' Pablo P. L. Tinio, Montclair State University, New Jersey and Editor, Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity, and the Arts ''It will be clear to readers by the end of this book, that I like beauty quite a bit' says Patrick Hogan; a prediction that does not disappoint. An enthusiastically written, thought provoking book, which applies cognition, neuroscience, and social-cognitive scientific thinking to our understanding of the distinction between beauty, the beautiful and the sublime. I like this book quite a bit.' Alex Forsythe, University of Liverpool 'Combining intimate and capacious knowledge of recent cognitive science research and social psychology with in-depth command of a global range of literary works, films, and cultures, Hogan offers a powerful challenge to long-established ways of theorizing aesthetics. Integrating the cognitive and affective, the formal and the contextual, the neurophysiological and the historical, Beauty and Sublimity speaks to resurgent discourses of aesthetic appreciation within contemporary humanities scholarship while providing such work rigorous, flexible, and fertile theoretical frameworks to engage and develop.' Donald Wehrs, Hargis Professor of English Literature, Auburn University, Atlanta 'In Beauty and Sublimity, Patrick C. Hogan makes yet another invaluable contribution to philosophical aesthetics and the philosophy of art in the naturalistic tradition.' Ryan P.
