What is art? Why do we find some things beautiful but not others? Is it wrong to share MP3s? These are just some of the questions explored by aesthetics, the philosophy of art.
In this sweeping introduction, Charles Taliaferro skilfully guides us through different theories of art and beauty, tackling issues such as who owns art and what happens when art and morality collide.
From Plato on poetry to Ringo Starr on the drums, this is a perfect introduction for anyone interested in the fascinating questions art can raise.
Charles Taliaferro is Professor of Philosophy at St. Olaf College, Minnesota. He is the author of over twenty books on philosophy and lectures on aesthetics and the philosophy of religion.

She has written and performed seven comedies for theatre, for which she has received three Comedy Awards and one Green Room Awards nomination. She has appeared on TV in The Panel, Kath & Kim, The Librarians, City Homicide, Neighbours and Judith Lucy’s Spiritual Journey.
