Kivy proposes a new strategy for defining fine art in a lucid study of literature and music.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
"Peter Kivy's book is an extraordinary work that combines a great depth of scholarship and forceful philosophical analysis and argument with a rich variety of engaging illustrations from the world of fine and literary arts. He not only provides the reader with a detailed historical analysis of the history of aesthetics from Plato to Danto and Walton, but in his pursuit of the differences between the arts, introduces a novel and compelling approach that will no doubt influence current debates. This work will be especially helpful to both professionals and advanced students of aesthetics." Mark Starr, Review of Metaphysics
"There are few writers on philosophical aesthetics who are such a pleasure to read as Peter Kivy, so a new book by him is always reason for celebration...his book is always fresh and combative, analytic philosophy of art at its best." The Philosophical Review
Peter Kivy traces the history of the definition of fine arts by their common features. His change of strategy explores the differences between the arts, in an accessible and lucid collection of five case studies in literature and music.
