Reviews

Highly recommended reading. This collection shows the variety of issues that can be discussed under the umbrella of everyday aesthetics – starting from stones and ending in storms, from house chores via social behavior to popular culture and design objects. The essays contribute to the crucial issue of the nature of the everyday itself. * Arto Haapala, Professor of Aesthetics, University of Helsinki, Finland * This book offers an impressive array of essays on the ‘everyday turn’ in aesthetics, with topics ranging from historical precedents to popular culture, cities, and design. It showcases key philosophical discussions while also providing a practical understanding of the value of everyday aesthetics for cultivating better interactions with the world. * Emily Brady, Professor of Philosophy, Texas A&M University, USA *
