Art and Its Messages: Meaning, Morality, and Society

By: Davies, Stephen

Book Overview

"If any one theme emerges from this discussion it is the resurgence of interest in and defence of humanistic concerns with art. Such a development is to be welcomed, and perhaps analytic aesthetics, given the way it has developed, is best place to defend the distinctive and significant values of art. For such a defence is surely needed in the face of the critical sophistry and nihilism that threatens the humanities". -- British Journal of Aesthetics
