Contemplating Art is a compendium of writings from the last ten years
by one of the leading figures in aesthetics, Jerrold Levinson. The
book contains twenty-four essays and is divided into seven parts. The
first is about issues relating to art in general, not specific to one
art form. The second and longest part of the book is about
philosophical problems specific to music. The third part focuses on
pictorial art, and the fourth on interpretation, in particular the
interpretation of literature and literary language. In the remaining
parts of the book Levinson discusses aesthetic properties, issues in
historical aesthetics, humour, and intrinsic value. These lively
essays, rigorous but accessible, will appeal not only to philosophers
but also to musicologists, literary theorists, art critics, and
reflective lovers of the arts.
