Recensioner i media

“This is a first-rate introduction to the maze of debates that has been constructed around art. This book is an outstanding achievement in pedagogical clarity and philosophical argument, and certainly is worth reading by students who seek an introduction to philosophy of art as well as by professionals who look for a well-argued commentary.” (Philosophy In Review)
