About the Book

The Continental Aesthetics Reader brings together classic and contemporary writings on art and aesthetics from the major figures in continental thought. The second edition is clearly divided into seven sections: Nineteenth-Century German Aesthetics Phenomenology and Hermeneutics Marxism and Critical Theory Excess and Affect Embodiment and Technology Poststructuralism and Postmodernism Aesthetic Ontologies. Each section is clearly placed in its historical and philosophical context, and each philosopher has an introduction by Clive Cazeaux. An updated list of readings for this edition includes selections from Agamben, Butler, Guattari, Nancy, Virilio, and Žižek. Suggestions for further reading are given, and there is a glossary of over fifty key terms. Ideal for introductory courses in aesthetics, continental philosophy, art, and visual studies, The Continental Aesthetics Reader provides a thorough introduction to some of the most influential writings on art and aesthetics from Kant and Hegel to Badiou and Rancière.

Review :
'The Continental Aesthetics Reader is a rich and intellectually uncompromising anthology. It fills an important gap in the literature.' -- Timothy R. Quigley, New School for Social Research, USA 'There is a clear need for a reader in continental aesthetics and Clive Cazeaux has assembled the readings with great care.' -- Michael Newman, Slade School of Art, London, UK 'Cazeaux's brief introductions to the selections are insightful and cogent. This volume will serve as a much-needed source for considering the range and depth of modern aesthetic theory.' -- Tom Huhn, Wesleyan University, USA '... a balanced and judicious selection of the most important texts from two centuries of European ruminations on art and its meaning... a welcome gift.' -- Martin Jay, University of California, Berkeley, USA
