Michael Symonds

The Appeal of Art in Modernity (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores the place of art in the modern world. Engaging with a broad range of theory, the author draws on the thought of Max Weber to offer an account of art's widespread appeal in terms of its constituting a self-contained value-sphere of meaning, which provides a feeling of salvation from the senseless routines of modern life.
