<p>PRAISE FOR <b>THE PREVIOUS EDITION</b> <p>"The finest aesthetics anthology available. Cooper has boiled his selections down to the truly classic writings, visionary and formative, and provided crisp insightful introductions. No other anthology matches his in the rich depth of reflections on art and the aesthetic to be found in the selections chosen."</br> <b>—Nicholas Wolterstorff,</b> Yale University <p>"What Cooper offers is a manageable, wide-ranging yet economical, and carefully reasoned selection for beginning students in aesthetics."</br> <b>—Joseph Margolis,</b> Temple University <p>Now in its second edition, <i>Aesthetics: The Classic Readings</i> is an innovative anthology edited by celebrated philosopher David E. Cooper which takes a broad view of the history of aesthetics through essays of canonical significance. With excerpts from Plato's <i>Republic</i> and Kant's <i>Critique of Judgement</i>, as well as complete essays by Hume on taste and Tolstoy on art, this volume introduces readers to critical topics and questions in the philosophy of art and sensory experience. Expanding its scope beyond the Western tradition, the collection also includes important texts by Mo Tzu, the painter Shih-t'ao, and the novelist Junichirō Tanizaki, and intersperses philosophical scholarship with the diverse contributions of artists, poets, novelists, and critics that have had an ongoing impact on the field. <p>New to this edition, Cooper has selected excerpts from Leon Battista Alberti, Leonardo da Vinci, Oscar Wilde, Walter Pater, and philosophers Ronald W. Hepburn and Arthur C. Danto to offer readers valuable, and sometimes unusual, insights in aesthetic philosophy. The new edition also includes an updated introduction by the editor as well as prefaces to each text and detailed lists of further reading, making this an accessible resource for students at all levels. Covering a range of topics from the nature of beauty and the criteria of aesthetic judgement to the value of art and the appreciation of nature, the second edition of <i>Aesthetics: The Classic Readings</i> will continue to be a valuable resource for lecturers, students, and researchers.
