R K Elliott, Paul Crowther

Aesthetics, Imagination and the Unity of Experience

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

R.K. Elliott's essays on aesthetics put forward a number of common themes that together constitute a unified approach to aesthetics. Throughout his writing, Elliott combines analytic rigour with sympathy for ideas in continental philosophy. This book, the first to gather together Elliott's key essays, powerfully illuminates the unifying role of imagination and the aesthetic in human experience.
