First sentence: Everything we are to study rests on the bedrock of the spontaneous reactions that we make, from earliest infancy, to nature and to created things.
Description: "Aimed directly at readers with little or no prior knowledge of aesthetics, [this book] opens by imaginatively exploring why art is important to us and goes on to grip the reader with a discussion of all the areas central to aesthetics: aesthetic experience, representation, expression, definition of art, evaluation, interpretation, truth and morality."--Cover.
