Bücher von Eliot Deutsch

Presents a theory of art which is at once universal in its general conception and historically-grounded in its attention to aesthetic practices in diverse cultures. Argues that art, especially today, enjoys a special kind of autonomy but that it has, nevertheless, important social and political responsibilities.

This text argues for pluralistic ethics, philosophical anthropology and epistemology in a cross-cultural context. It provides an account of what it means to be a genuine social and spiritual being - a person in the diverse worlds of which we are a part, and to which we contribute.
