Phenomenology of the Visual Arts (Even the Frame)
ISBN: 9780804762144 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Why are the visual arts so important and what is it that makes their forms significant? Countering recent interpretations of meaning that understand visual artworks on the model of literary texts, Crowther formulates a theory of the visual arts based on what their creation achieves both cognitively and aesthetically. He develops a phenomenology that emphasizes how visual art gives unique aesthetic expression to factors that are basic to perception. At the same time, he shows how various artistic media embody these factors in distinctive ways. Attentive to both the creation and reception of...

Philosophy After Postmodernism: Civilized Values and the Scope of Knowledge
ISBN: 9780415310369 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Formulating a new approach to philosophy which, instead of simply rejecting postmodern thought, tries to assimilate some of its main features, Paul Crowther identifies conceptual links between value, knowledge, personal identity and civilization understood as a process of cumulative advance.
To establish these links, Crowther deploys a mode of analytic philosophy influenced by Cassirer. This approach recontextualizes precisely those aspects of postmodernism which appear, superficially, to be fuel for the relativist fire. This method also enables him to illuminate some of the great...

The Aesthetics of Self-Becoming: How Art Forms Empower
ISBN: 9780367189334 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 162 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book shows that art involves an aesthetics of self-becoming, wherein we do not simply consume artistic meaning, but become empowered—by adapting ourselves to what creation in the different art forms makes possible. Paul Crowther argues that the great political task in aesthetics is no longer the creation of political art as such, but rather the winning back of art and aesthetics as central societal concerns. This involves the overcoming of neo-liberal treatments of art as mere commodity and misguided attitudes that dismiss it as the product of dead white European males. The book begins...

The Transhistorical Image: Philosophizing Art and Its History
ISBN: 9781107410459 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Paul Crowther seeks to establish a set of a priori conditions of pictorial art and, more generally, of visual art. He explores systematic alternatives and discusses ways of bringing recent modes of visual art (such as photomontage and digital image transformation) within their scope. Crowther's treatment of these important aesthetic questions is of interest to philosophers of art and art historians.

Critical Aesthetics and Postmodernism
ISBN: 9780198236238 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In recent times considerable controversy has raged around the question of postmodern culture and its products. Paul Crowther attempts to overcome some of the antagonistic viewpoints involved by expounding and developing key themes from the work of Kant and Merleau-Ponty in the context of contemporary culture. His work analyzes topics such as the relation between art and politics, the problems of poststructuralist and feminist approaches to art, the re-emergence and relevance of theories of the sublime, and the continuing possibilities of artistic creativity. The central theme of the book is...

Defining Art, Creating the Canon: Artistic Value in an Era of Doubt
ISBN: 9780199698585 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 274 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. What is art; why should we value it; and what allows us to say that one work is better than another?
Traditional answers have emphasized aesthetic form. But this has been challenged by institutional definitions of art and postmodern critique. The idea of distinctively artistic value based on aesthetic criteria is at best doubted, and at worst, rejected. This book, however, champions the traditional notions. It restores the mimetic definition of art on the basis of factors which traditional answers neglect, namely the conceptual link between art's aesthetic value and 'non-exhibited'... What is art; why should we value it; and what allows us to say that one work is better than another?

Solar Cruise
ISBN: 9781848616929 / Angielski / Miękka / 2020 / 74 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Solar Cruise is Claire Crowther's fourth collection and a Poetry Book Society Recommendation for Spring 2020. Her first collection, Stretch of Closures, was shortlisted for the Aldeburgh Best First Collection prize. Solar Cruise is a love story of a poet and a physicist who is devoted to halting climate change through solar energy. It is a passionately personal but also political work. Claire Crowther's poetry has always been linguistically playful; here she uses an engaging variety of stylistic devices to deliver perhaps the most important message of our time, that solar energy can save us...

The Kantian Aesthetic: From Knowledge to the Avant-Garde
ISBN: 9780199579976 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Kantian Aesthetic explains the kind of perceptual knowledge involved in aesthetic judgments. It does so by linking Kant's aesthetics to a critically upgraded account of his theory of knowledge. This upgraded theory emphasizes those conceptual and imaginative structures which Kant terms, respectively, "categories" and "schemata." By describing examples of aesthetic judgment, it is shown that these judgments must involve categories and fundamental schemata (even though Kant himself, and most commentators after him, have not fully appreciated the fact). It is argued, in turn, that this shows...
