The Creation of Art: New Essays in Philosophical Aesthetics

by Berys Gaut (Editor), Paisley Livingston (Editor)

Although creativity, from Plato onwards, has been recognized as a topic in philosophy, it has been overshadowed by investigations of the meanings and values of works of art. A distinguished roster of philosophers of art reviews this trend in this collection of essays. The collection appeals to philosophers of art and theorists in art history, cinema studies and literary criticism.
