Special attention is given to beauty: What is the relationship between the subjective and objective conditions of beauty? Is the beauty of nature merely the product of human appreciation? The answer is that beauty-and value-is a more potent ingredient in the structure of things than modern reductionism allows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frederick Ferré\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0791427560\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780791427569\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 406\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 6.12w x 1.00d","brand":"Frederick Ferré","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443687338239,"sku":"9780791427569","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_21327d5c-7174-409b-abe4-78c1247a7096.jpg?v=1777207142","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/being-and-value-frederick-ferrzs-9780791427569","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
