Review
...over the last twenty years or so, Jerrold Levinson's work has been undoubtedly amongst the most wide-ranging and highly regarded in the field of philosophical aesthetics...interesting and original... It is this mixture of profoundly investigative and innovative essays that leaves the most lasting impression on the reader, leading us to wonder, whether, despite his previous achievements, Levinson's most interesting and important work is yet to come... Elisabeth Schellekens, Mind an excellent book...Levinson is essential reading for contemporary aesthetics. Derek Matravers, British Journal of Aesthetics
