Overview

"The Phenomenology of Aesthetic Experience (Fr. Phénoménologie de l'expérience esthétique) was first published in 1953. In the first of four parts, Dufrenne distinguishes the ""aesthetic object"" from the ""work of art."" In the second, he elucidates types of works of art, especially music and painting. He devotes his third section to aesthetic perception. In the fourth, he describes a Kantian critique of aesthetic experience. A perennial classic in the SPEP series, the work is rounded out by a detailed ""Translator's Foreword"" especially helpful to readers in aesthetics interested in the context and circumstances around which the original was published as well as the phenomenological background of the book."
