She demonstrates encyclopedic knowledge of the main figures and arguments regarding aesthetic properties and opens up the material with her accessible style and concise summaries of the central topics.\"--Alan Goldman, author of Life's Values: Pleasure, Happiness, Well-Being, and Meaning \"At a time when philosophers of art are paying more attention to criticism, Two Thumbs Up offers an excellent contribution.
