A Theory of Art
by Karol Berger
Category: Music

What, if anything, has art to do with the rest of our lives and in particular with those ethical and political issues that matter to us most? This book examines the situation of art today and shifts the focus of aesthetics from the question of "What is art?" to the question of "What is art for?" "...a convincingly argued, richly textured, and timely book."--John Daverio, Boston University
