Aesthetic Pursuits: Essays in Philosophy of Art
Jerrold Levinson
Abstract
This book presents work by Jerrold Levinson, one of the most prominent philosophers of art today, which follows in the line of his four earlier collections, Music, Art and Metaphysics (1990), The Pleasures of Aesthetics (1996), Contemplating Art (2006), and Musical Concerns (2015). This book specifically complements the last of those by collecting recent work not concerned with music, the art that has occupied Levinson more than any other, focusing instead on literature, film, and visual art, while addressing itself as well to issues about humour, beauty, and the emotions.
Keywords: art, philosophy, aesthetics, metaphysics, music, judicial review, film , visual art, humour
