Portraiture is one of the most well-established genres in art. Despite its huge popularity, however, portraiture hasn't received much philosophical attention. This book brings together philosophers and philosophically minded art historians with different areas of expertise to discuss this enduring and continuously fascinating genre.

"Portraits and Philosophy is a philosophical invitation to reconsider portraits as an artistic genre
as well as an object of philosophical investigation. Moreover, chapter after chapter, this book
debunks all the underlying skepticism and prejudices against the possibility of substantial
reflection on this topic. The book is philosophical aesthetics done at its best: this collection of
eighteen original articles written by philosophers and art historians- plus an introduction and an
epilogue by the editor-not only shows philosophical insight, but establishes a substantial and
robust dialogue between philosophy, art history and art practice that one frequently expects, but
rarely finds, in the aesthetics literature." - MIND
"This book seems certain to establish the philosophy of portraiture as a new and important topic of debate within philosophy and to demonstrate the centrality of philosophical aesthetics to the issues of self, identity and our understanding of each other, that concern us all." - Ian Ground, University of Hertfordshire, UK
"This is an excellent book on the elusive but pervasive genre of portraiture. It provides the reader with conceptual tools to understand the boundaries of the genre, the value of portraits and some ethical issues they give rise to. Also, it invites the reader to consider interesting questions such as whether there can be portraits of absent sitters, how to understand sport cards portraits or fictional portraits appearing in literary works." - Paloma Atencia-Linares, National Autonomous University of Mexico
