Reviews
`this collection of original articles by philosophers, psychologists, anthropologists and neuroscientists is not only a timely and welcome addition to serious inquiry into art and the aesthetic, but to philosophical aesthetics in particular and to philosophy more generally ... The question of what we philosophers of art ought to make of empirical research results and methods is one whose answer we are still very much feeling our way towards. The great value of this collection is that, with it, the terrain we must traverse to do so is now all the clearer.' Dan Cavedon-Taylor, Mind
