Few\u003cbr\u003estudies come close to answering why pictures and sculptures fascinate and\u003cbr\u003eintrigue regardless of any practical functions they might serve. In this\u003cbr\u003eoriginal, thought-provoking study, Paul Crowther reveals the intrinsic\u003cbr\u003esignificance of pictures and sculptures. \u003cbr\u003e To address the\u003cbr\u003equestion of how painting becomes an art, Crowther uses the analytic philosophy\u003cbr\u003eof Richard Wollheim as a starting point. But to sufficiently answer the\u003cbr\u003equestion, he makes an important link to a tradition much more successful in\u003cbr\u003egiving voice to the deeper ontology of visual art - existential phenomenology. \u003cbr\u003e The result is a work that demonstrates the\u003cbr\u003ereciprocal relationship between phenomenology and analytic aesthetics. To\u003cbr\u003eexpand its ontological scope and solve the problem of expression, analytic aesthetics\u003cbr\u003eneeds phenomenology; while to develop a sustained, critically balanced, and\u003cbr\u003eintellectually available ontology, phenomenology needs the discursive force and\u003cbr\u003elucidity of analytic philosophy. This convincing case for a post-analytic\u003cbr\u003ephenomenology of art is an important advancement of contemporary discussions of\u003cbr\u003ethe philosophy of art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Crowther\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1441119736\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781441119735\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/28\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 0.90d","brand":"Paul Crowther","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48458317758719,"sku":"9781441119735","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ca6263c7-23f5-4057-bdfa-3893328025e2.jpg?v=1777403691","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/phenomenologies-of-art-and-vision-paul-crowther-9781441119735","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
