{"product_id":"arts-emotions-damien-freeman-9781844655113","title":"Art's Emotions: Ethics, Expression and Aesthetic Experience","description":"\u003cp\u003eDespite the very obvious differences between looking at Manet's \u003ci\u003eWoman with a Parrot\u003c\/i\u003e and listening to Elgar's Cello Concerto, both experiences provoke similar questions in the thoughtful aesthete: why does the painting seem to express reverie and the music, nostalgia? How do we experience the reverie and nostalgia in such works of art? Why do we find these experiences rewarding in similar ways? As our awareness of emotion in art, and our engagement with art's emotions, can make such a special contribution to our life, it is timely for a philosopher to seek to account for the nature and significance of the experience of art's emotions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDamien Freeman develops a new theory of emotion that is suitable for resolving key questions in aesthetics. He then reviews and evaluates three existing approaches to artistic expression, and proposes a new approach to the emotional experience of art that draws on the strengths of the existing approaches. Finally, he seeks to establish the ethical significance of this emotional experience of art for human flourishing. Freeman challenges the reader not only to consider how art engages with emotion, but how we should connect up our answers to questions concerning the nature and value of the experiences offered by works of art. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Damien Freeman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1844655113\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781844655113\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Damien Freeman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49082463781119,"sku":"9781844655113","price":233.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/arts-emotions-damien-freeman-9781844655113","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
