Pressestimmen
“Of the histories of aesthetics in English…Beardsley’s book is the best. It is brisk, it is written in a clear plain style, and it is scholarly without being pretentious or overwhelming.
"For those of us who want to know what philosophers have said about beauty and the arts, this book will be especially useful.”—The Philosophical Review
"The depth of Beardsley's scholarly competence . . . speaks from every page. He makes a masterful analysis of Aristotle’s concepts . . . Then follows his chapter on the Middle Ages, which is outstanding. . . . And so the book goes forward with penetrating analysis and unexpected relevancies.
“Beardsley’s book accomplishes to perfection what the writer intended. It illuminates an area of history from a certain perspective as was never done before. . . . The distinguishing feature of his book is a n excitement over everything I aesthetics that has to do with symbols, meanings, language, and modes of interpretation. And this excitement has brought to light facets of the history f the subject never noticed before, or at least, not so clearly.” —The Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism

I used this as a text for an undergraduate course in aesthetics. I would never use it again. Beardsley seems to not understand that one need not include EVERY detail regarding EVERY person who ever made a comment on some issue of aesthetics. The result is a confusing and cluttered read that drowns one in a myraid of loosely related facts. A bigger problem is: I'm not sure that anyone else tries to do what Beardsley does - present a survey, with analysis, of the history of western aesthetics.

Great reference
12. Juli 2005
Format:Taschenbuch
I am currently working on my own project in aesthetics and hope to teach a course next year. Beardsley's book is a great reference, though I would not use it for a text unless I provided supplements to the class. One needs to see and hear examples of the art being discussed. His discussion of the figures is excellent, yet for an introductory course, one may want to have original sources to read.
What Beardsley does so well is to present every important view in historical context so that the reader gets a good idea of not only what the different views on art are, but why they were developed.
While it may not be a great text, it is a great resource.

A Useful Introduction
1. September 2001
Format:Taschenbuch
I disagree with the previous reviewer. Although it might be possible to write a book that covered only the Major figures in aesthetics--Aristotle, Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, etc--I found this book very useful in getting a grasp of what has been said in the field of aesthetics throughout history, particularly medieval aesthetics, upon which it is very difficult to find information. In some cases, I don't quite agree with Beardsley's interpretation, but again, this is best read as an introduction to more serious studies in Aesthetics. Ultimately, only the primary sources are going to give you an understanding of their contents.
Great on the Classics and up to German Idealism ... but weaker after that.
23. März 2012
Format:Taschenbuch
I'm a professor of literature and philosophy, and I've been using Beardsley's text for almost twenty years. It is very, very strong on classical literary criticism, as well as very strong on Kant and German Idealism. And, understandably enough, it's quite strong concerning formalist or New Criticism (a view which Beardsley was central in articulating). I tend to use this text for its coverage of Aristotle and Plato (you cannot do better than this one for a junior/senior level survey in this context). And he handles Romanticism pretty well, though so much has changed in contemporary understandings of the mode of thinking that it's really hard to say how each reader will receive the text. Beardsley's analyses of more contemporary critical schools -- psychoanalysis and neo-Marxism, most notably -- are pretty weak. But the text is some thirty or forty years old, and Professor Beardsley is no longer with us, so we can't hold it against him for failing to discuss, say, Zizek. Beardsley also fails to mention folks like Adorno (who he clearly could have engaged) or any of the French postmoderns. It's just not on his radar, and that's not really a critique. Times change.
Again, a great text for the groundwork. If you want another great text on psychoanalytic criticism, you can't be Elizabeth Wright's text of that name. It's a masterful intro.
Hope this helps the aesthetic theorists out there!
