Product Description

The narrative is done in classic dialogue, and as the reader advances, the very questions that come to mind appear and are answered satisfactorily and comprehensively.

Chapter One and Two define literature and art as the expression of how an author or artist sees his world and distinguishes this from other types of expression such as a newspaper article, lab report, essay, etc.

Chapter Three defends aesthetics and beauty as the evolutionary positive extreme the basis of which is steeped in survival. It concludes that beauty is not in the eye of the beholder, that the aesthetic sense has an evolutionary purpose to enable man to recognize and apppreciate that which is positive for his survival.

Customer Reviews

A well-written, excellent tome
The Nature of Aesthetics is an absorbing, well-written book, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was under the impression that I knew about the nature of art... Alas, my ignorance has been exposed by Mr. Angle. I look forward to reading his other books.

Excellent Read
An extremely well written book. It takes a topic confusing tomost and brings to the forefront some thought provoking concepts. Itis a "must read" for anyone intrigued by the relationshipbetween modern man and the art he seeks to infuse into his environment. I look forward to reading Mr. Angles other books!

Excellent Book.
A good break from the textbooks we have been using at school. Refreshing.
