Reviews
Hick's lively and comprehensive introduction manages a remarkable feat: it remains student-friendly while keeping a keen eye trained on historical figures and also carefully navigating contemporary debates. I'm excited to teach with this new edition. Highly recommended. * Sam Cowling, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Denison University, USA * Interesting examples continue to draw us into the concepts and theories of philosophy, but in addition, the chapters now include case studies and challenges. This is an excellent text for helping students grapple in their own way with the aesthetic values of nature and art, and the associated ethical issues. * Jennifer A. McMahon, Professor of Philosophy, The University of Adelaide, Australia * Hick does something I've never seen another author of an introductory Philosophy of Art and Aesthetics textbook do, and that's make it fun. With a point of engagement at every turn, the reader can't help but feel like they're an active part of a conversation. A thing of beauty! * Christy Mag Uidhir, Associate Professor of Philosophy, University of Houston, USA *
