More about the book
Challenging conventional views of modern aesthetics, this collection of essays argues for the interconnectedness of art with social and human experiences. Berleant posits that the significance of art is amplified when it is recognized for its role in society, rather than being isolated from moral, practical, and social contexts. This perspective highlights art's capacity to enrich human experience and its vital contribution to civilization's development. The essays advocate for a broader understanding of aesthetics that embraces its humanizing influence.
