{"product_id":"deeper-into-pictures-flint-schier-9780521109406","title":"Deeper Into Pictures: An Essay on Pictorial Representation","description":"This book presents an original theory of the nature of pictorial representation. The most influential recent theory of depiction, put forward by Nelson Goodman, holds that the relation between depictions and what they represent is entirely conventional. Flint Schier argues to the contrary that depiction involves resemblance to the things depicted, providing a sophisticated defence of our basic intuitions on the subject. Canvassing an attractive theory of 'generativity' rather than resemblance, Dr Schier provides a detailed account of depiction, showing how it illuminates and resolves many of the enigmas of pictorial representation while remaining true to our basic intuitions on the subject. Philosophers, psychologists and art theorists will find this a sophisticated and stimulating treatment of one of the central topics in aesthetics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Flint Schier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 052110940X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521109406\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 06\/18\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.55d","brand":"Flint Schier","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47930669138175,"sku":"9780521109406","price":47.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1d37e000-0136-4710-9ee6-676689ce2faa.jpg?v=1766343444","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/deeper-into-pictures-flint-schier-9780521109406","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
