About the Book

What is aesthetics? How is it related to other disciplines? The chapters of this book examine the history, theoretical conditions and connection points between aesthetics and other disciplines. At the same time, the authors are also interested in practical clashes of methodology and agenda, especially when it is not merely about the securing of the position of one or the other discipline, but is used, in a dialogical manner, as the form of understanding better the nature of both as well as the benefits of their collaboration. The authors work on the border of aesthetics and at least one other academic field. Through their regular scholarly activities, the contributors constantly benefit from cross- and interdisciplinary practice, and this makes them ideal interpreters of these methodological questions. Contributors include: Mami Aota, Karl Axelsson, Paul Duncum, Lisa Giombini, Oiva Kuisma, Jacob Lund, Tyrus Miller, Max Ryynänen, Mateusz Salwa, Zoltán Somhegyi, Wendy Steiner, and Joseph Tanke.

Review :
Aesthetics pervades our lives, and it pervades thinking about our lives. Aesthetic Theory Across the Disciplines surveys the boundaries of philosophical aesthetics, its points of contact with the arts disciplines, such disciplines as cultural studies and urban studies, and also the history of philosophy. Some essays provide sweeping visions of the potential benefits of more dialogue. Other essays diagnose obstacles to dialogue. They are by turns personal, passionate, and persuasive. Max Ryynänen and Zoltán Somhegyi have assembled an international team of scholars who consider the ways that aesthetics operates in a variety of related disciplines. Their scope is wide, including such fields as philosophy, architecture, music, cultural studies, human evolution, and ecology. The comprehensive literature reviews and diverse individual perspectives in Aesthetic Theory Across the Disciplines offer informative and valuable insights.
