On Aesthetics: Collected Essays

ON AESTHETICS presents a collection of papers and presentations on abiding issues in philosophical aesthetics. The volume addresses topics other than those on which McFee has published extensively - the aesthetics of dance, the aesthetics of Wittgenstein, and the aesthetics of sport. These include the notion of meaning in music (where some ideas from Peter Kivy loom large); the nature of artistic interest; the character of depiction in painting; artistic appreciation and reasoning in aesthetics; as well as discussions of R.G. Collingwood and Kant. ON AESTHETICS includes some of McFee's earliest publications and recent presentations, offering works McFee regards as advancing discussion and making points worthy of consideration, as well as being informative regarding the development of his views and concerns.. Approximately half are previously unpublished, and the remainder have been revised for this volume.
