About the book >.>.> These essays were written over a period of seven years and cover a variety of subjects in pure and applied aesthetics reflecting both my own interests and also a wider interest among Anglo-Saxon philosophers in the problems posed by the experience of art. For the most part they employ forms of argument and intellectual devices culled from the methods of analytical philosophy. It is now fairly evident that these methods are as applicable in aesthetics as in other areas of philosophical enquiry. If that were not so then I believe that analytical philosophy would have failed to establish itself as a coherent intellectual discipline. For aesthetics is a central area of philosophy as central as metaphysics and as basic to our understanding of the human condition. But like all works of analysis the following essays do not presuppose the truth of that generalization. I hope only that they give some grounds for it. As explorations and reports they must speak for themselves.
