OverviewWith his usual lucidity, Etienne Gilson addresses the idea that ""art is the making of beauty for beauty's own sake."" By distinguishing between aesthetics, which promotes art as a form of knowledge, and philosophy, which focuses on the presence of the artist's own talent or genius, Gilson maintains that art belongs to a different category entirely, the category of ""making."" Gilson's intellectually stimulating meditation on the relation of beauty and art is indispensable to philosophers and artists alike.
