About this Item

Immediate dispatch from Somerset. Nice book in great condition. Pages in excellent condition. No notes or highlighting. See images. Fantastic book. About the book >.>.> I have organized the contents of this volume into five parts, with the following rationale: Part I contains essays on the notion of the aesthetic; Part 2 contains essays on issues in the aesthetics of music; Part 3 contains essays on the definition and ontology of art; Part 4 contains essays on intention, interpretation, and meaning in art; and Part 5 contains essays on the nature of fiction and our response to it. The resultant ordering has the advantage both of allowing later essays to profit in intelligibility from those that precede them, and of starting the reader off with two pieces of broad import and accessibility.
