Art, Representation, and Make-Believe by Sonia Sedivy

This is the first collection of essays focused on the many faceted work of Kendall Walton. Walton provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the arts in terms of the human capacity of make-believe that shows how different arts can be explained in terms of complex structures of pretense, perception, imagining, empathy and emotion.

Sonia Sedivy is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Toronto Scarborough. Her research focuses on perception, aesthetics, and the later work of Wittgenstein. Beauty and the End of Art: Wittgenstein, Plurality and Perception (2016) offers a new approach to the diversity of art and beauty by bringing aesthetics together with the philosophy of perception and the later work of Wittgenstein. “Aesthetic Properties, History and Perception” shows how philosophy of perception and aesthetics inform one another in Art, History, Perception, a Special Issue of the British Journal of Aesthetics that she guest edited. She is currently writing a book on perception that draws on aesthetics.
