Opis

This book has emerged as neo-pragmatism's contribution to contemporary aesthetics. By articulating a deeply embodied notion of aesthetic experience and the art of living, and by providing a compelling rigorous defense of popular art - crowned by a pioneer study of hip hop - the author re-orients aesthetics towards a fresher, more relevant, and socially progressive agenda. The second edition contains an introduction in which the author responds to his critics, and it concludes with an added chapter that formulates this novel notion of somaesthetics.
