Description

Book Synopsis
Rejecting not only the identification of the aesthetic with the work of art, but also the Kantian association of the aesthetic with subjectively universal judgment, the author's analysis of aesthetic relations opens up a space for a theory of art that is free of historicism and capable of engaging with noncanonical and non-Western arts.

Trade Review
"While Schaeffer is not afraid to do the necessary detail work, he never gets mired in issues of merely scholastic interest." (Bookforum, on Art of the Modern Age)"
