It is the time when both the harmony of arranged gardens and the disharmony of wild nature led to a revolution in the criteria of the beautiful and in the meaning of the word “art.” It coincided with the birth of aesthetics, understood as a regime for shaping how art is seen and thought, and also with the French Revolution, understood as a revolution in the very idea of what binds together a human community. The time of the landscape is the time when the conjunction of these two upheavals brought into focus, however hazily, a common horizon: that of a revolution that no longer concerns only the laws of the state or the norms of art, but the very forms of sensible experience.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis brilliant and wide-ranging book will be of interest to students and scholars in philosophy, literature, the visual arts, and the humanities generally, and to anyone interested in critical theory and philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Polity Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45203020284055,"sku":"9781509548149","price":3765.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781509548149.webp?v=1769208249","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-time-of-the-landscape-on-the-origins-of-the-aesthetic-revolution-9781509548149","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
