Seeks to bring present-day philosophy principles into the history of aesthetics

Before the publication of Aesthetics from Classical Greece to the Present there were three histories of aesthetics in English--Bosanquet's pioneering work, the second part of Croce's Aesthetic in the Ainsle translation, and the comprehensive volume by Gilbert and Kuhn. While each of these is interesting in its own ways, and together they cover a good deal of ground, none of them is very new. Thus none could take advantage of recent work on many important philosophers and periods and bring into a consideration of the past the best concepts and principles that have been developed by present-day philosophy.

Monroe C. Beardsley (1915-1985) work in aesthetics is best known for its championing of the instrumentalist theory of art and the concept of aesthetic experience. He was elected president of the American Society for Aesthetics in 1956. He also wrote an introductory text on aesthetics and edited a well-regarded survey of anthology of philosophy. He is also the author of The Aesthetic Point of View: Selected Essays and The European Philosophers from Descartes to Nietzsche.
