Maynard Solomon, through his selections and critical introductions, shows connections between the arts and society, between imagination nd history, and between art and revolution. He selects from thirty-six authors to reveal the range of opinion from dogma to heresy, beginning with excerpts from the works of Marx and Engels that are pertinent to an understanding of Marxist philosophy.\u003cbr\u003eThe book traverses a wide range of subjects from the origins of art to the nature of creativity, the aesthetic experience, the dialectics of consciousness, the psychology of art, and the evolution of art forms. The sources of art in ritual, in the labor process, in the play drive, and in social conflict are explored.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maynard Solomon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814316212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814316214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wayne State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/1984\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 696\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.49h x 5.55w x 1.48d","brand":"Maynard Solomon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926424682751,"sku":"9780814316214","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_36060dec-9c76-4b16-bf4c-1474112f9411.jpg?v=1681083014","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/marxism-and-art-maynard-solomon-9780814316214","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
