Jerrold Levinson is Distinguished University Professor of Philosophy at the University of Maryland, College Park. He is the author of Music, Art, and Metaphysics, Music in the Moment, and The Pleasures of Aesthetics, all from Cornell, and the editor of the Oxford Handbook of Aesthetics.

The Pleasures of Aesthetics contains a wealth of detailed argument and presents views that are original and provocative, as well as interesting. With this collection, the importance of Levinson's contribution to philosophical aesthetics is confirmed.- Stephen Davis, Department of Philosophy, University of Auckland, (The Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism)
