Foundations of the Philosophy of the Arts
Series Editor: Philip Alperson, Temple University
The Foundations of the Philosophy of the Arts series is designed to provide
a comprehensive but flexible series of concise texts addressing both funda-
mental general questions about art as well as questions about the several arts
(literature, film, music, painting, etc.) and the various kinds and dimensions
of artistic practice.
A consistent approach across the series provides a crisp, contemporary
introduction to the main topics in each area of the arts, written in a clear and
accessible style that provides a responsible, comprehensive, and informative
account of the relevant issues, reflecting classic and recent work in the field.
Books in the series are written by a truly distinguished roster of philosophers
with international renown.
