Table of ContentsReviews?Regardless, though, considered as a whole, The Art of Comicsis an excellent collection and one which is likely to provoke spirited debate and serve as a spur to further research within Anglo-American philosophy (and philosophy more generally) into this sadly neglected art form. I, for one, look forward to these future developments immensely. To quote one of the greats in the history of comics?excelsior!.? (British Journal of Aesthetics, 1 October 2013) ?The Art of Comics would make a fine addition to any undergraduate reading list, introducing as it does several important notions in contemporary aesthetics.? (The Journal of Aesthetics & Art Criticism, 1 November 2013) The Art of Comics: A Philosophical Approach is the first-ever anthology on the aesthetics of comics in the analytic tradition. As such, it is predictably rigorous, but, perhaps more surprisingly, it exhibits a very deep love of comics as well as an intimate and close knowledge of the artform in all its diversity and detail. The book is a splendid addition to the growing body of work on the philosophies of the arts. -Noel Carroll, The Graduate Philosophy Program, CUNY This is a groundbreaking collection that sets the agenda for philosophical reflection on the nature of comics and their place among the arts. Readers will find their thought bubbles bursting out on every page, as fresh insights are delineated and new questions are framed. -Jesse Prinz, The Graduate Philosophy Program, CUNY A new, rich topic is always welcome in philosophy. Comics are just such a topic in the philosophy of art, and this excellent collection is a splendid opportunity to explore the subject. -Ted Cohen, University of Chicago Regardless, though, considered as a whole, The Art ofComicsis an excellent collection and one which is likely to provokespirited debate and serve as a spur to further research withinAnglo-American philosophy (and philosophy more generally) into thissadly neglected art form.
