{"product_id":"aesthetics-and-ethics-jerrold-levinson-9780521788052","title":"Aesthetics and Ethics: Essays at the Intersection","description":"This major collection of essays stands at the border of aesthetics and ethics and deals with charged issues of practical import: art and morality, the ethics of taste, and censorship. As such its potential interest is by no means confined to professional philosophers; it should also appeal to art historians and critics, literary theorists, and students of film. Prominent philosophers in both aesthetics and ethics tackle a wide array of issues. Some of the questions explored in the volume include: Can art be morally enlightening and, if so, how? If a work of art is morally better does that make it better as art? Is morally deficient art to be shunned, or even censored? Do subjects of artworks have rights as to how they are represented? Do artists have duties as artists and duties as human beings, and if so, to whom? How much tension is there between the demands of art and the demands of life?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jerrold Levinson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521788056\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521788052\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/12\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 340\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.76d","brand":"Jerrold Levinson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43920067166463,"sku":"9780521788052","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_0c84d35d-6ef3-4656-a93b-b67dc30e8a92.jpg?v=1680813417","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/aesthetics-and-ethics-jerrold-levinson-9780521788052","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
