Introduction. List of Contributors. A Companion to Aesthetics. Index.
"The range is phenomenal, the erudition daunting and the index rigorous. It is an essential purchase for all but the most tough-minded of academic reference collections and it would grace the shelves of many a public or personal library." Reference Reviews "It is a compendium to be welcomed." Cogito "Academic libraries ... should not hesitate to acquire this important reference guide." Religion and Reference "It provides very handy encyclopedic coverage of all main contemporary issues and figures in contemporary aesthetics.... It really must be bought by libraries as a reference text as there is nothing else in its class at the moment." British Society of Aesthetics Newsletter
