{"product_id":"historical-dictionary-of-aesthetics-dabney-townsend-9780810855397","title":"Historical Dictionary of Aesthetics","description":"Aesthetics is not a \"factual\" discipline; there are no aesthetic facts. The word itself is derived from the Greek word for \"feeling\" and the discipline arises because of the need to find a place for the passions within epistemology-the branch of philosophy that investigates our beliefs. Aesthetics is more than just the study of beauty; it is a study of that which appeals to our senses, most often in connection with the classification, analysis, appreciation, and understanding of art. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Historical Dictionary of Aesthetics covers its history from Classical Greece to the present, including entries on non-western aesthetics. The book contains a chronology, a list of acronyms and abbreviations, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on the main concepts, terminology, important persons (philosophers, critics, and artists), and the rules and criteria we apply in making judgments on art. By providing concise information on aesthetics, this dictionary is not only accessible to students, but it provides details and facts to specialists in the field.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dabney Townsend\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810855399\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810855397\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scarecrow Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/05\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.12h x 5.44w x 1.02d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2006 pg. 14","brand":"Dabney Townsend","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065165263103,"sku":"9780810855397","price":155.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_beb29231-5084-4db3-a34c-9f2f7895e02f.jpg?v=1768673421","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/historical-dictionary-of-aesthetics-dabney-townsend-9780810855397","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
