Measured Pace

Although the theoretical importance of dance has always been recognized, dance has been relatively neglected in the philosophy of art. In this sequel to Off the Ground, in which Professor Sparshott focused on the concept of dance in general, A Measured Pace considers the recognized classification of dance as art, its values, and relationship to the other arts.Sparshott begins with an explanation of the philosophical importance of the major classifications of dance and their basis. He examines dance as a mimetic and expressive medium, and reviews the major dimensions of dance form. He then explores the relationship of dance to three related fields: music, language, and theatre. Sparshott also discusses the major philosophical problems of dance as an art: the specific values of dance; the relation between the way the audience perceives dance and the dancer's self-perception; the ways in which dancing and dances are learned; the division of artistic creation between choreographers and performers; and the ways in which dances are identified and retain their identity through time. A concluding chapter on how dances are recorded considers how the media may change the nature of dance. A Measured Pace is a wide-ranging and substantial contribution to a philosophical understanding of dance.

Taking Life Seriously

A Study of the Argument of the Nicomachean Ethics

This is the first book in modern times that makes sense of the Nicomachean Ethics in its entirety as an interesting philosophical argument, rather than as a compilation of relatively independent essays. In Taking Life Seriously Francis Sparshott expounds Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics as a single continuous argument, a chain of reasoned exposition on the problems of human life. He guides the reader through the whole text passage by passage, showing how every part of it makes sense in the light of what has gone before, as well as indicating problems in Aristotle's argument.No knowledge of Greek is required. When the argument does depend on the precise wording of the Greek text, translations and explanatory notes are provided, and there is a glossary of Greek terms. Sparshott offers insightful and useful criticism, making Taking Life Seriously the best available companion to a first reading of the Ethics.

Future of Aesthetics

Widely admired as one of Canada's leading philosophers, Francis Sparshott is a major figure in postwar philosophical aesthetics. In this book he presents an annotated version of the text of the four 1996 Ryle Lectures that he gave at Trent University.Addressing the nature and prospects of aesthetics as a discipline, Sparshott discusses beauty, taste, and the place of imagination, fiction, and fine art in societies. He investigates the place of such a discipline in the broad social structures provided by universities and civilizations, and tackles many perennially interesting questions about education and the life of the mind.Written with wit and charm, the lectures journey through a vast terrain of references, yet wear their learning lightly. Sparshott's engaging style and humane vision will, as always, attract a wide and diverse readership.

Aesthetics is variously identified with the philosophy of art, the philosophy of criticism, and the philosophy of beauty. The resulting confusing has meant that the condition of this branch (or branches) of philosophy has been a standing scandal; so much so that many philosopher have supposed the subject be inherently recalcitrant or in some way spurious. This book seeks to remey this situation by reducing the subject to order. It offers answers to the following questions: (1) What are the problems with which aesthetics deals? (2) What kinds of answers have been proposed or may be proposed to these questions? (3) How are these problems related to one another? (4) Are the relations between the problems such that awesthetics can form a single unified field of study? (5) In what circumstances and to what extent will aesthetics seem a branch of philosophy worthy of systematic study?

Professor Sparshott''s book thus places the study of aesthetics on a new footing, since it becomes for the first time possible to grasp the scope of the subject as a whole. Hitherto, no one has tried to introduce order into the subject by any other means than marking off and systimatically cultivating a small corner of the field. Now for the firs ttime the mutual bearings of these local clearings are mapped. This book is accordingly meant for all those who are seriously interested in the philosophy of art, or of criticism, or of beauty: for all those, that is, who are prepared to raise the far-reaching problems with which it deals. The author will not be dismayed if it encourages other syntheses!

This book also makes incidental suggestions toward the solution of some of the problems which it organizes, and is illustrated by reference to a wide range of aesthetic literature, from Aristotle to Ziff.
