Summary

How can we understand 'art'? Does the term 'aesthetics' still have meaning? How much is the intellect involved in our appreciation of the purely visual? From an Aesthetic Point of View is a showcase of the work of several leading contemporary philosophers on the many overlapping areas between art and philosophy. It ranges from purely philosophical analysis to a look at the meaning of the work of some contemporary artists, such as Cindy Sherman.
