And yet given the vast amount of works in aesthetics produced in the last hundred years, this age could be defined \"the century of aesthetics\". \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e20th Century Aesthetics\u003c\/i\u003e is a new account of international aesthetic thought by Mario Perniola, one of Italy's leading contemporary thinkers. Starting from four conceptual fields - life, form, knowledge, action - Perniola identifies the lines of aesthetic reflection that derive from them and elucidates them with reference to major authors: from Dilthey to Foucault (aesthetics of life), from Wölfflin to McLuhan and Lyotard (aesthetics of form), from Croce to Goodman (aesthetics and knowledge), from Dewey to Bloom (aesthetics and action). There is also a fifth one that touches on the sphere of affectivity and emotionality, and which comes to aesthetics from thinkers like Freud, Heidegger, Wittgenstein, Lacan, Derrida and Deleuze. The volume concludes with an extensive sixth chapter on Japanese, Chinese, Indian, Islamic, Brazilian, South Korean and South East Asian aesthetic thought and on the present decline of Western aesthetic sensibility.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mario Perniola\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1441118500\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781441118509\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/27\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.80d","brand":"Mario Perniola","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48439160701183,"sku":"9781441118509","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2321889f-7eca-4a7e-99c3-bfd933f61a9e.jpg?v=1777175841","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/20th-century-aesthetics-mario-perniola-9781441118509","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
