Art And Truth After Plato

Edición de la obra Art And Truth After Plato

Despite its foundational role in the history of philosophy, Plato's famous argument that art does not have access to truth or knowledge is now rarely examined, in part because recent philosophers have assumed that Plato's challenge was resolved long ago. In this book, Tom Rockmore argues that Plato has in fact never been satisfactorily answered - and to demonstrate that, he offers a comprehensive account of Plato's influence through nearly the whole history of Western aesthetics.
