Title: Sophistry and twentieth-century art
First published: 2002
Description: "This book rejects the widespread fakeries that emerged in twentieth-century art, which may be called by their Platonic name of sophistry. The book applies ideas of Martin Heidegger and Nicolas Berdyaev about what constitutes a beautiful work of art and about how an authentic relation to the beauty in a work of art enhances human existence."--BOOK JACKET.
