The Principles of Art by R G Collingwood

The Principles of Art by R G Collingwood

This treatise on aesthetics criticizes various psychological theories of art, offers new theories and interpretations, and draws important inferences concerning the position of art in human society.

"Collingwood is as insightful as ever; his observations and arguments have lost no validity since Principles was published"--Philip Chandler, College of St. Thomas More "Without being pedantic, Collingwood is factual and precise; both his structure and facade are built up of thousands of details, and the whole forms an integrity, a synthesis, the product of an ordered mind which puts everything in its place."--John Cournos, The New York Times
