Taste, Agamben argues, is a category that has much to reveal to the contemporary world. Taking a step into the history of philosophy and reaching to the very origins of aesthetics, Agamben critically recovers the roots of one of Western culture’s cardinal concepts. Agamben is the rare writer whose ideas and works have a broad appeal across many fields, and with Taste he turns his critical eye to the realm of Western art and aesthetic practice. This volume will not only engage the author’s devoted fans in philosophy, sociology, and literary criticism but also his growing audience among art theorists and historians.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 197mmItem Length: 140mmItem Width: 5mmItem Weight: 59gAuthor: Giorgio Agamben, Cooper FrancisTranslator: Cooper FrancisContributor: Cooper Francis (Translated by)Genre: Literary CriticismTopic: Philosophy & Spirituality, Arts & PhotographyBook Series: Italian ListType: HistoryRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
