Reviews
This expanded edition adds to the original eighteen chapters new entries on Shaftesbury, Hutcheson, Du Bos, Batteux, Bolzano, Wittgenstein, Langer, Sibley, Kivy, Lamarque, Carroll, and Levinson, all written by leading aestheticians. Giovannelli has provided an invaluable resource, for both students and researchers in the field. * Stephen Davies, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, University of Auckland, New Zealand *
There are many guides to philosophical aesthetics on the market, but this one stands out. Featuring chapters on virtually all the major theorists of art and beauty, the slate of contributors constitutes an array of many of the best aestheticians currently active. An invaluable supplement to any historically oriented course on the problems of aesthetics, now with this second edition even more comprehensive and up-to-date. * Jerrold Levinson, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, University of Maryland, USA *
