{"product_id":"art-and-imagination-roger-scruton-9781587310324","title":"Art and Imagination: A Study in the Philosophy of Mind","description":"This book presents a theory of aesthetic judgment and appreciation in the spirit of modern empiricism. There are three parts: the first deals with questions of philosophical logic, the second with questions in the philosophy of mind, and the third with questions in the philosophy of art. Thus the argument advances from a theory of aesthetic judgment (and in particularly of \"aesthetic description\") to a theory of aesthetic appreciation, and thence to an account of the nature and value of art. \u003cbr\u003e Scruton examines and rejects various attempts made by recent philosophers to demarcate the realm of aesthetic judgment. He argues that the logic of aesthetic judgment does not suffice to distinguish what is \"aesthetic\" from what is not, for aesthetic judgments must be explained in terms of the conditions for their acceptance rather than the conditions for their truth. These \"acceptance conditions\" can be understood only if we first know what is meant by aesthetic experience. This theory attempts to show how aesthetic experience can be regarded as autonomous, even though it is intimately connected with ordinary experience, and is indeed dependent on ordinary experience for its full description.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roger Scruton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1587310325\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781587310324\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Augustine's Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.80d","brand":"Roger Scruton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43991637426431,"sku":"9781587310324","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8fa7f15a-f3c8-4dd9-ba3b-9ac2ea7d1755.jpg?v=1683311409","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/art-and-imagination-roger-scruton-9781587310324","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
