description: This second edition features a new 48-page Afterword--1980 updating Professor Beardsley's classic work."There is not much I could say to expand the reputation of this classic text, but it is a testament to Beardsley's deep insight that I am finding the book useful for the study of Chinese aesthetics—which Beardsley himself never intended to broach. There may still be no better introduction to thinking about art and beauty." —Paul R. Goldin,  University of Pennsylvania
