{"product_id":"aesthetics-after-metaphysics","title":"Aesthetics After Metaphysics","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book focuses on a dimension of art which the philosophical tradition (from Plato to Hegel and even Adorno) has consistently overlooked, such was its commitment – explicit or implicit – to mimesis and the metaphysics of truth it presupposes. De Beistegui refers to this dimension, which unfolds outside the space that stretches between the sensible and the supersensible – the space of metaphysics itself – as the \u003cem\u003ehypersensible\u003c\/em\u003e and show how the \u003cem\u003eoperation\u003c\/em\u003e of art to which it corresponds is best described as \u003cem\u003emetaphorical\u003c\/em\u003e. The movement of the book, then, is from the classical or metaphysical aesthetics of mimesis (Part One) to the aesthetics of the hypersensible and metaphor (Part Two). Against much of the history of aesthetics and the metaphysical discourse on art, he argues that the philosophical value of art doesn’t consist in its ability to bridge the space between the sensible and the supersensible, or the image and the Idea, and reveal the sensible as proto-conceptual, but to open up a different sense of the sensible. His aim, then, is to shift the \u003cem\u003eplace\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003erole\u003c\/em\u003e that philosophy attributes to art. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54246345998680,"sku":"9781138921467","price":64.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781138921467.jpg?v=1769626824","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/aesthetics-after-metaphysics","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
