Philosophy: aesthetics

Paperback. Art for art's sake addresses the relationship between art and life. Although it has long been argued that aestheticism aims to de-humanize art, this volume seeks to consider the counterclaim that such de-humanization can also lead to re-humanization and to a deepened relationship between the aesthetic sphere and the world at large. Num Pages: 252 pages, biography. BIC Classification: AF; DSA; DSB; DSBF; DSBH; HPN. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 216 x 140 x 14. Weight in Grams: 330.
