Philosophy Of Art by Noël Carroll
A Contemporary Introduction
An accessible, analytically oriented introduction to core questions in aesthetics that surveys competing accounts of what art is, how we interpret and value it, and how representation, narrative, and emotion function in artworks. The book critiques purely formalist or mystical treatments of aesthetic experience, emphasizes the role of historical, institutional, and cognitive factors in understanding art, and uses concrete examples—notably from film and fiction—to defend a naturalistic, pluralistic approach to artistic interpretation and evaluation.
