She does this through revisiting Kant's account of aesthetic ideas, and demonstrating how works of art can increase our understanding of abstract concepts whilst promoting self-knowledge. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAddressing some of the most fundamental questions in contemporary aesthetics and philosophy of art, this study covers the value and importance of art, the relationship between art and beauty, the role of knowledge in art and the criteria for artistic excellence. It offers an insight into problems related to the apprehension of meaning and the cognitive processing of abstract representations that have been of interest to contemporary cognitive science. \u003ci\u003eKant's Aesthetic Cognitivism\u003c\/i\u003e presents these arguments in a lucid and wide-ranging engagement with the history of aesthetics and current academic debates to understand what art is and why it is valuable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mojca Kuplen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350289558\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350289550\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/23\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.44d","brand":"Mojca Kuplen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48457906258175,"sku":"9781350289550","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f20c4170-5963-4540-8113-9aaecb79ecb4.jpg?v=1777401528","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/kants-aesthetic-cognitivism-mojca-kuplen-9781350289550","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
