“Unquestionably the most authoritative and up-to-date collection of
materials on a very important philosophical topic. Noël Carroll has
done a masterful job of assembling a first-class cast of scholars
who have been highly prominent in the ongoing debate over the role
of theory in aesthetics. They are concerned with the question of
how we can circumscribe the enterprise (or objects) of art in an
intellectual environment that is generally hostile to real
definition. Public policy makers concerned with public art, K–12
art teachers, students of cultural history, art critics, and many
others will naturally be interested in this subject.” —Ronald
Moore, University of Washington–Seattle
“Carroll is our foremost interpreter of how philosophical
aesthetics has developed, and his way of laying out the story is
always illuminating.” —Anita Silvers, San Francisco State
University
