Tatarkiewicz History Of Aesthetics Pdf 37 Authors: Prof. Andrzej Tatarkiewicz Language: English Publisher: Clio Press Inc. Release Date: 2005-03-01 ISBN13 : 9781558603044 T e a c h e r s, students, and scholars have long been enamored with aesthetics--the study of art and beauty in all their forms. With its broad scope of exploration, aesthetics encompasses a topic that is both intellectually stimulating and aesthetically dazzling--yet surprisingly difficult to understand for many people, from undergraduates struggling to pass exams to advanced scholars trying to discover the lineage of modern art theory. Dr. Andrzej Tatarkiewicz, a professor of philosophy at Georgetown University, is a leading expert on aesthetics and a highly respected scholar in the field of aesthetics. Professor Tatarkiewicz has taught courses on aesthetics at Georgetown University for nearly two decades and he also directs the graduate program in aesthetics studies. He has published numerous books on the topics of aesthetics, art criticism, and art history, including "A History of Aesthetics" (Clio Press), which is considered by many to be the "bible" of the field. The previous edition of this influential volume was written in Polish and was published nearly thirty years ago. The success of this tome prompted Professor Tatarkiewicz to update it for English-speaking scholars. The new edition has been substantially expanded to include all significant movements in the field since 1985, including American pragmatism, post-structuralism, ethnomethodology, etc. This book is essential to any library that includes the original version of the text, and is a valuable addition for any library with an interest in aesthetics. This scholarly volume is sure to be a source of great interest and valuable information for many years to come. This authoritative text presents the most significant movements in the field of aesthetics from ancient Greece until today. The author includes analyses of aesthetic theory from ancient Greece to pragmatism, classic formalism, phenomenology, semiotics, structuralism, post-structuralism, symbolic interactionism and feminism. In his most recent edition he also discusses theories inspired by cognitive sciences and social sciences such as anthropocentrism and socio-semiotics. "A] history of aesthetics represents not only a historical task but also a crucially important philosophical work. The volume presents one of the most systematic philosophical treatments of the subject to have been published in the English language. It is essential reading for anyone wishing to understand how aesthetics has developed, and its continued significance in contemporary philosophy." - John Haldane, Professor of Philosophy, University of St. Andrews "Tatarkiewicz's A History of Aesthetics: Volume One: Presocratic and Early Greek Theories is nothing short of wonderful and phenomenal and it should be placed on everyone's bookshelf that seeks an understanding about how aesthetic experience operates. eccc085e13
