This anthology has been significantly expanded for this edition to
include a wider range of contemporary issues. The most important
addition is a new section on multicultural theory, including important
and controversial selections ranging from discussions of art in other
cultures to discussions of the appropriation of nonWestern art in
Western cultures. The material from Kant's Critique of Judgment has
been expanded to include his writing on aesthetical ideas and the
sublime. The selections from Derrida have been updated and
considerably expanded for this edition, primarily from The Truth in
Painting. One of Derrida's most interesting provocations has also been
added, his letter to Peter Eisenman on architecture. In addition, the
section on feminist theory now includes a chapter from Irigaray's
Speculum of the Other Woman. The anthology includes the most important
writings on the theory of art in the Western tradition, including
selections from Plato, Aristotle, Hume, Kant, Hegel, and Nietzsche;
the most important philosophical writings of the last hundred years on
the theory of art, including selections from Collingwood, Langer,
Goodman, Heidegger, and Merleau-Ponty; contemporary Continental
writings on art and interpretation, including selections from Gadamer,
Ricoeur, Derrida, Lyotard, and Foucault; also writings on the
psychology of art by Freud and Jung, from the Frankfurt School by
Benjamin, Adorno, and Marcuse, in feminist theory, multiculturalism,
and postmodernism. The anthology also includes twentieth-century
writings by artists including discussions of futurism, suprematism,
and conceptual art. Stephen David Ross is Professor of Philosophy and
Comparative Literature, State University of New York at Binghamton.
