In this title, the author argues that Plato has in fact never been satisfactorily answered. Num Pages: 328 pages. BIC Classification: ABA; HPCA; HPN. Category: (G) General (US: Trade).

Ever since Plato expelled the poets from his ideal state, the ethics of art has had to confront philosophy's denial of art's morality. In Art before the Law, Ruth Ronen proposes a new outlook on the ethics of art by arguing that art insists on this tradition of denial, affirming its singular ethics through negativity.
