This book is intended to be a general introduction to the philosophy of art. It is written primarily for laypersons and students who are not philosophy majors. It covers most of the standard topics of aesthetics in language that is relatively free of technical jargon. The book also features an appendix of selected readings which are geared to the topics of the chapters. This feature combines the approach of the single-author text with that of the typical readings or anthology text.
