Recenzje

"Preziosi (emer., UCLA) seeks to illuminate the complexities of understanding involved, variously, in the experience and articulation of aesthetics with particular reference to the relationship between art and religion...Of greatest value to scholars and advanced researchers, this book also offers many insights to other well-educated readers.   Summing Up: Recommended." -  R. W. Liscombe,  University of British Columbia in CHOICE
