Mer om författaren
After considering a career in music, Kendall Walton found his natural home in philosophy, earning a B.A. at Berkeley and his Ph.D. from Cornell University. He taught for many years at the University of Michigan, and more recently at Stanford University. His writings include the ground breaking Mimesis as Make-believe (1990), and a companion volume to the present one, Marvelous Images: On Values and the Arts (2008). Walton is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and a past president of the American Society for Aesthetics.
Recensioner i media
Those familiar with Walton's work will welcome this collection as an addition to their libraries on fiction, make-believe, and empathy, but overall, the collection covers a medley of interconnected issues. Walton is a witty, imaginative, wonderfully clear writer ... if one is to fully appreciate the lay of the land in philosophy of art, music, literature, and imagination, one must know and understand Walton's claims and arguments. This is well-written, carefully reflective philosophy of the highest order. Highly recommended.
