Singularities

Essays in Aesthetics

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Aaron Ridley presents a series of twelve essays, half of them appearing here for the first time, about the two key singularities that Kant identified in aesthetics: artistic creativity and aesthetic judgement. He explores how the one-off character of creativity and judgement defy our ordinary expectations of what an explanation should be like.
