Description
Book SynopsisWhat does a life with art offer that a life without art does not? This title asserts that the fundamental point of the enterprise of art is the creation and delivery of values that are not singularly available in the nonart world. It discusses visual art, literature, music, theater, and other art forms, arguing that as art both liberates.

A major contribution to aesthetics.”--George Dickie, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at the University of Illinois at Chicago and the author of
